I've read over the comments, and I'm not sure that they're sufficiently clear that RH and WF were never coy about originating the other handles listed. What she's saying about the impostors is that there is one or more people who have, at times, created accounts under one of those handles in various places, and some of the actions currently attributed to her were actually done by one of these others. Given that she has at least one long-standing stalker (the one who posted from his Twitter account to the threads in James Nicholls' LJ), and that said stalker is also openly a GamerGater (he was talking about her outing in a forum thread that was mostly about GamerGate, and taking great joy in watching others dogpile her, not to mention goading some of said dogpiling).
Also, I'd like to see some consistency here; there are people who have done, and continue to do, the same things to RHB that they condemn her for, but are facing very little backlash. And what little backlash they do face is from people who are broadly condemned as "defending abuse." Which is ... problematic, to say the least.
