I remember when Moses ben Nachman first edited. Yes, he did have a disagreement with RK, but that hardly makes him Adam/Lir. There are different POVs on various articles, and it is only inevitable that they will come through in the writing, especially among new participants. Being NPOV is a skill that we develop.
All that said, can we please stop suggesting that every new user with whom we disagree is Adam/Lir. It makes it very difficult for new users to get thir feet wet here.

For the record, while I was composing that email, my main thought was that they were different people but in some degree of cahoots together. The possibility that it was just one person talking to itself came to me while I was composing, making sure I'd covered all the reasonable possibilities. I don't think it's very likely.
