In emails to me today, Plautus Satire has accused me of lying to him about his being moderated on the mailing list. (He is not, has never been, and it's his own inability to function even after people have explained the problem to him that's to blame for the mailing list problems.)

He's also asked me about my "revenue streams" from Wikipedia, and whether they might somehow be "dependent on popular misconceptions being substituted in place of relevant, unpopular, dispassionat [sic] facts?"

I consider both of those remarks to be so preposterous as to cut off any further possibility of hope for sensible discussion.

Here's a hint for trolls of the future -- when writing to me to beg for a rehearing, try to avoid insulting me to my face twice in one day.

p.s. Just to make sure I'm clear on what I find insulting about the "revenue streams" question, it isn't the notion that I might someday make some revenue from wikipedia. It's my dream, in fact, that this could someday be my fulltime job, an honorable job which I would be proud to have earned. It's the notion that I'd debase my ideals for the encyclopedia in the process that I find offensive.
