There's a lot of aspects to this that I don't entirely understand, but this part is quite alarming. Banning people who haven't engaged in any malfeasance because they've disagreed with you elsewhere is an obvious abuse of power that would lead to one being an ex-mod in any community I'm comfortable being a part of. (Why hello there, chilling effects!)
On the other side, I'm also uncomfortable with the way the DQ/Amanda thing is playing out. It's looking like a bit of a Morton's Fork: They could be the same person, so they can only have one account. But they could be different people, so them using the same account is bad. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
And demanding ID or phone calls or what have you is simply inappropriate. If DQ and Amanda are the same person, having two accounts doesn't seem like it would be such a danger that you can't offer some benefit of the doubt and allow them to each have an account under the presumption that they are different people. With some caveats involving things where one or the other should recuse themselves as a potential conflict of interest of course.
ETA: Also, Rob, it looks like your last edit to that discussion got accidentally overwritten. (Why hello, reason why I don't like trying to use a wiki page like a discussion forum.)
