Mark Robinson is running for governor of North Carolina and his pron internet history of comments got leaked. How did this get revealed and how do you link pseudonym internet comments to a person?

The [CNN article](https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/19/politics/kfile-mark-robinson-black-nazi-pro-slavery-porn-forum/index.html) has an entire section titled “Identifying minisoldr as Robinson.” Here’s a summary of it, but I honestly recommend just reading the article:
* Same full name
* Same private email address
* The user was addressed by another user as Robinson’s first name
* Got married at the same time
* Live in the same city
* Served in the army at the same time
* Both have mothers who worked for a HBCU
* Posted about the same specific niche topics
* Used same uncommon phrases as Robinson on his personal FB page
* Same username (and, where verifiable, email) used by someone whose details match Robinson on multiple sites, including Disqus, Xitter, YouTube, Pinterest, and Amazon
There’s basically no way it’s not him.
