I get access to commenter’s IP address, email address and name used. Since there’s no login system for comments (no password) the email address and name can be anything and if you know what you are doing you can make it look like your are someone else to a casual viewer.
Also the images aren’t hosted on this site, they are located at gravatar.com that can be used by all WordPress blogs. I think if you use the same email address on all WordPress sites you comment on you get the same image.
On the comment in question at first sight it does look like it’s VoteNo ToBNP as the email address is the same as that used for all VoteNo ToBNP’s comments, but looking closer I’m 99% sure it’s not VoteNo ToBNP who posted the comment.
VoteNo ToBNP’s IP’s are not static, but since he/she appears to always use the same ISP to log in to the site, the IP range is always similar. The poster of the “BMP all the way” comment’s IP isn’t even a UK IP address, it’s posted from a proxy server.
Now unless VoteNo ToBNP was smart enough to use a proxy (to hide the IP), but not smart enough to change the email address (which is very easy to do, it doesn’t even have to be a real address), it’s highly unlikely he/she posted the comment.
If I was into conspiracy theories I might think someone who dislikes VoteNo ToBNP and knows his/her email address and how WordPress works has tried to discredit him/her quite subtly. I’m surprised anyone noticed the avatars matching, some of you guys are paranoid!
