Lir or not, this Kenneth character has to be a past vandal with a grudge. Once again, he knew to target Mr. Wales; he knew his way around the site very well; and he described one of his edits as �no more vigilante dictatorship of a free website." It could be another user with a grudge, but what other banned user, aside from Lir, targeted what he saw as an unjust �cabal� or �dictatorship?� His location should be determined, whether he�s Lir, Michael, DW, or anyone else. This will give us key insights when we deal with these reappearing trouble-makers in the future.

I'm still not sure what it matters -- just revert the vandal and carry on with more important things. Do not feed the trolls.

Ah agreed. Im just wondering if we're not being too hard on the kid -- after all, we might be taking his comments out of context.

Either that smiley means to ignore the whole message--in which case, why bother posting?--or I'd like to know what plausible context justifies a series of obscene insults to someone the vandal in question has never met.
A sense of humor can justify nearly anything.
