Within common English it is an accepted way of stating a firmly held
opinion and it was backed up by a number of arguments which you have
failed to address.
Even if it were a matter of fact, as there is no
requirement for board
members to disclose their username(s) it is impossible to prevent
banned users from standing for election to the Board.
Firstly someone doing it in secret would present a very different
political situation. Secondly in practice the pretty much standard
question between wikipedians meeting in meatspace is what is your
usename. Not answering would make getting elected difficult.
You in any case appear to be attacking a strawman.
