He's obvious Troll Bait
Yes it was a a big mistake not to use a handle right from the off.
But having made that big mistake and having been identified and challenged
there simply was no turning back.

His Twitter biography says simply: "My own person - I won't be bullied by
antisemitic trolls." He is a partner at London firm Seddons.
The Twitter exchanges are believed to involve neo-Nazis, one of whom has
been imprisoned for threats made to Mr Lewis and others.
In an interview last year with The Times of Israel, he was quoted as saying
that I do like to take people on", with the paper noting that he could be
found tweeting "at all hours of the day, often indulging in hours-long
back-and-forths with anti-Semitic trolls".
He told the paper: "I don't like to block people, because I believe in a
free press, and I also don't want to give them the satisfaction of putting
'blocked by Mark Lewis' on their timeline, as though they had intimidated
me.

And he's in a Wheelchair. Patronising or not, I'd be inclined to allow him
some leeway on that account as well/ But if he wants to keep up his
practice.....
