There is an interesting piece of academic software that can establish that, it was originally written to identify plagiarism but it's advanced analysis exposes when posters have too closely matched characteristics like when one person posts under multiple pseudonyms.
But I think it would be cruel, because statistically there will be several bipolar people on here posting under different identities.
In any case, they aren't publishing science or fact despite sometimes wanting it painted as such, they are just publishing opinions and opinions can be shared.
Actually, if you want to win a debate in an online forum using two identities and posting arguments for and against is a great way to garnish support from both sides of the debate, if you are so inclined you can steer a debate towards your preference. But that plagiarism software will expose that, your language is your language of thought, you can't change it. But the tactic is the forum equivalent of Dorothy Dixers, which for me greatly devalues the utility of web forums, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., etc.. as those sites are rife with such tactics..
