What's your intent, Cornwell? I've identified plenty of trollish behavior in the past; it is incredibly common, not unusual at all. I do tend to have a bit of a sharp edge, and admit that readily. I can't say as I believe your intentions to be honorable or straightforward at all. Are you trying to provoke some particular reaction? Perhaps trying to threaten me, in some sad way? I asked you once before not to contact me off-list; please cease and desist. I don't have anything to talk with you about that belongs off-list. [Given that air-l is the only place I've run across you, and the proper venue for this, I'm redirecting this traffic there now.] --elijah On Thu, 12 Oct 2006, Dr. W. Reid Cornwell wrote:

Elijah,
I have been studying the behavior of internet users. I have observed that you have frequently labeled people as trolls.
I intend to publish some of your publicly available comments directed at myself and others would you care to comment for the record?
Reid
