No it wasn't. From: http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=18612

I think there are two different questions here
Should discussion on a topic cease (for a while, permanently) if certain
things indicate it might be a good idea?
Sometimes there are people who post here that some may view as
troublemakers, or nonconstructive participants. What, if anything, should be
done about it?

Does how it was viewed matter? Shouldn't what matter be that you
impersonated someone?

Complaining about not justifying statements? I would like to see you justify
more of your statements in the future, and fewer 1-liners.
