In fact, on one of the many threads I read (I believe last week) there was a discussion wrt whether bayourant was aware of just "who" he/she was talking too (Levin). It was made clear at that time.. What we are supposed to believe is that bayourant doesn't read the entire thread he takes an active role in debating? I don't buy that.
But I can't dig deep enough to source it out.

I didn't see the threads you're talking about, but I trust Jim's judgment on this and think he did the right thing here.
