Yup. Same at Digg. Quite a few columnists from places like CNET submit
an item to Digg about their own columns. They don't hide this. Their
Digg name is usually close to their real name. It's all on the
up-and-up.

I think it is more complex than typical hypocrisy. I think Roy knows
that many of the things he does are wrong (shilling anonymously for his
commercial endeavors, personal attacks on his critics, unfounded
accusations, etc), and to cope with that, he projects that behavior onto
others.
