You two sure do sound like a pair of sock-puppets, one in each hand of
the same person.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_(Internet)

A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception. The
term—a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from
a sock—originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of
an internet community who spoke to, or about himself while pretending
to be another person.[1] The term now includes other uses of
misleading online identities, such as those created to praise, defend
or support a third party or organization.[2] A significant difference
between the use of a pseudonym[3] and the creation of a sockpuppet is
that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated
with the puppeteer.
