There are innocent reasons why an IP match can occur. For example, some wireless providers use shared IPs, other providers may use transparent proxies, and people in the same household will usually have the same IP.

When it becomes an issue is when there's a match and there's some other suspicious behavior.

Obviously that's exactly what a sock would say.

So if IPs are dishonest that should make us a little uncomfortable. I'm at a public Library until Internet gets fixed. Would all the computers have the same IP address at a Library? That would suck cock then if there were two people going to the same library, one had a good account, the other was a troll, and the IP was blocked because of the Troll.

That's when we'd PM you and ask you to take care of the troll personally, Thunderdome style. Two men enter, one man leaves.

Problem solved.

Not necessarily the atheist troll you have to worry about... But you really shouldn't worry. It's extremely unlikely, and a 'cross that bridge when you get there' type situation.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
