I don't actually understand your complaint. This isn't the first time we've created this type of post. It seems to be the first time you've noticed it though. Does that mean that you're complaining that you didn't see the previous posts? If this was being done in an underhand way I could see why you would complain but it isn't.
We're on the public forum talking about the fact that we have two personas for private use in leagues against other people who have two. Just like you play the board game when there are two of you and you want a multi-plane game.
So can I suggest you get over it and move on. Life's too short.

The complaint comes from past abuse of multiple pilots. People were intentionally cheating, pretending to be other players, and sabotaging games. We are a small enough site, and there is no monetary reward for abuse, as there is with games like World of Warcraft, so this kind of abuse is rare.
This may not be the first post of its' kind. I have frequented the forum regularly for my entire membership. My guess is that most, or all, of the previous posts were made in such a way as it was clear that it was to set up a game and did not advertise the multiple personalities. As I am usually not looking to join any situations that will require me to do more than take my turns, I would not have looked at such posts. In any case, it is no players responsibility to keep up with the forum.
If it was being done in an underhanded way, there would already be pressure to remove the offending players from the website. This has happened before. Do not abuse your membership.
I get that you are publicly using multiple pilots in a responsible way. It may take some a bit longer to accept that this is being done. I would ask you to get over it, but that would be rude.
As you had nothing to add to the discussion that had any particular relevance that had not already been mentioned by someone else, I would concur with your sentiment that "life is too short".
