Re: One of the interesting characteristics of the trolls
It's sad.
It is. It's also sad how there are folks like Rutherford who avoid subjecting their theories to academic peer review but sell them to those ignorant enough to believe unsubstantiated rhetoric. Those purveyors of this are simply exploitng a market, but some of their followers unable to handle academic criticism get extreme.
That being said, the trolls and fanatics here are really well behaved compared to what you find out on the usenet. You ever visited usenet groups, Jar? There are some truly demented vicious wacko's roaming out there. Makes me appreciate how gentle the trolls and wackos that post here are. I really think Kendemeyer for example is simply misguided and rationally impaired but his zeal though often annoying is sincere. Chin is a guy who wants to get nasty but again displays more self control than the psychos out in the usenet.

12 step program for internet discussion addiction?
If you have access to some of the really old postings you'll find jar there from near day one.
Are they in Google groups?
You are scaring me Jar! I've been hoping that I'll be recovering from this internet posting obsession I seem to contracted. I was thinking it might be only a few months duration

Why he gets his kicks off of pissing off folks at a little-known corner of cyberspace doesn't make much sense to me, but it's probably because he's not skilled enough to do anything else.
I don't understand internet trolls and kooks but have seen enough of em in usenet to know that the internet is a magnet for wackos. For one thing it is very easy to troll from the comfort of one's home. Script kiddies, trolls, and kooks lack the discipline to acquire knowledge, I guess this is a way they satisfy a need for attention.
