Anyway, essentially yes, but are you seriously saying that lying is bad?
I'll assume that's a typo. I think it's bad in some contexts. At the poker table, if a bet is not involved, no I don't think it's bad. I certainly don't think that Cog hiding his identity is a moral failing. I do it too, to a large degree.
I don't coach, but I probably owe 2p2 more than Cog does.

You are wrong.
If Cog doesn't know him he's still pretty much random. Cog's responsibility as a poker coach is to provide training to his students. As a poker video maker, it's to make videos. That's it.
I mean maybe the site owners have more they want him to do, but my interpretation of his moral obligation: THAT'S IT.

Go ahead and swear at me and tell me I am stupid too, but it doesn't deny the fact that you are glossing over details.
I haven't glossed over details. I just went into great detail, in fact. We agree that OP says Cog lied ITC about who he was. I don't care, I don't think it's Cog's obligation to tell anyone. I don't think it's a moral issue.
If you dig back and look up my positions on morality, I think you'll find that I have a very strict moral compass and I do NOT like "shady" things. This is not one.
Lastly, this thread doesn't justify a serious response from Cog. If OP wasn't a worthless POS and could write a serious accusation without kindergarten-type insults and talking about how his feelings were hurt, then I could see it.
