It is suspected that this user might be a sock puppet or impersonator of Zephram Stark. Please refer to contributions for evidence. See block log and current autoblocks.

This is one of Zephram's straw-man sock puppets. "They are created by users with one point of view, but act as though they have an opposing point of view, in order to make that point of view look bad, or to act as an online agent provocateur. They will often make poor arguments which their "opponents" can then easily refute. This can allow them to essentially make straw man arguments. Such sock puppets thus become a personification of the straw man argument which their creators argue against. They often act unintelligent or uninformed, and may behave in an overtly bigoted manner. The effect is often to obfuscate the debate and prevent a serious discussion of the arguments from each side." Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Characteristics_of_sock_puppets
