I BELIEVE IT IS QUITE UNLIKELY THAT FAZER AND FURIOUS ARE THE SAME PERSON. THERE ARE SOME TELLTALE DIFFERENCES IN THEIR WRITING STYLES.
MOST NOTICEABLE - TO ME, AT LEAST - IS THAT FAZER FAIRLY FREQUENTLY USED THE WORD "MATE" TO ADDRESS THOSE TO WHOM HE SPOKE. IN HIS 630 POSTS, HE USED THE WORD IN THAT FASHION 22 TIMES; ONCE EVERY 28 POSTS. FURIOUS HAS USED THE WORD MATE TO ADDRESS OTHERS ONLY TWICE IN OVER 1100 POSTS; LESS THAN ONCE PER 500 POSTS. I HAD ALSO NOTICED THIS LACK OF THE TERM "MATE" IN PRIVATE IN-GAME MESSAGES SENT FROM FURIOUS TO MYSELF AND OTHER SUPPLICANTS OF THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]! I ALWAYS KNEW WHEN A RANDOM MESSAGE FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED PLAYER WAS FROM FAZER, BECAUSE HE ALWAYS ADDRESSED ME (OR WHOMEVER HE WAS GUESSING WAS ME) AS "MATE". FURIOUS NEVER DID SO.
ALSO NOTEWORTHY: FAZER USUALLY DID NOT PROPERLY USE THE CONTRACTION "YOU'RE". MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, HE WOULD USE THE WORD "YOUR" WHEN HE MEANT "YOU ARE". I HAVEN'T SEEN FURIOUS GET THAT ONE WRONG YET. HE EVEN TOOK A JAB AT SOMEONE FOR GETTING THAT PARTICULAR CONTRACTION WRONG.
AND THEN THERE'S GENERAL TONE: FAZER'S POSTS ALMOST ALWAYS CONTAINED A PALPABLE, BEAUTIFUL SIMMERING RAGE WHICH HE SEEMED UNABLE TO CONTROL. I ACTUALLY TRIED TO COUNSEL HIM ON THAT WITHOUT SUCCESS (ROILING IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN SIMMERING). HIS ANGER OFTEN MANIFESTED ITSELF AS A PEPPERING OF PROFANITIES STREWN ABOUT. IRONICALLY, GIVEN HIS NAME, FURIOUS DISPLAYS NONE OF THIS. AT TIMES WHEN I WOULD EXPECT FAZER TO BECOME FULLY ENRAGED, FURIOUS ALWAYS SEEMS TO REMAIN CALM AND MANAGE TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS IN AN AMUSING FASHION.
FINALLY, FREQUENCY OF POSTS: FAZER MADE 630 POSTS IN SEVERAL YEARS. FURIOUS HAS MADE OVER 1100 POSTS IN A FEW MONTHS.
HA!

People and their respective writing styles change. I know mine have and maybe his time constraints aren't what they use to be.
