There was a big brou-ha ha in meta over Sargasso Sea and some of her alternate identities, a while back. And she had a blog where she bragged about coming back to DU over and over.
Iverglas was covering for the identities and got involved in defending or reiterating the transphobic comments. IIRC, she also would do things like repost the contents of a post hidden for bigotry, in its entirety, so that the comments could be put up again.
And yeah, EGBDF is one of the best.

In all fairness to iverglas, I haven't spotted her once since she's been banned, at least not AFAIK.
