Kirkland Ramsay III (Presbyterian) aka Mafud aka somebody Grene used to get involved in long email threads with himself, including some flame wars. As (say) Mafud he would post a statement which the rest of us jumped on, so into the fray would jump KRIII (Presb.) in his defence, but then as Grene he would dive in for the opposition as well. At this point all the relatively normal people would take a backseat while all his personalities argued with each other in public. He strenuously denied that they were him, but the style of writing was unmistakable, even though he tried very hard to disguise it.
