I think it’s an attempt to doxx posters. If you let slip how you know then it becomes easier to figure out who you might be. And then you are open to online and IRL harassment of the kind we’ve had reported here. I expect the hope is that in the general happiness over MB being released and the insurance being settled, some folks on here might let slip “I had dinner with MB last night” or “I know the lawyers personally” or “Lara is my BFF since Grade 8” or similar which is not something you want to say on a thread being monitored by KTeam because doxxing and harassment is their business.
Edited to add: just saw that our troll was banned for trolling. Yes!!! However, they can still read the threads so I would still be careful about personal details.
