Hi Dante - thanks so much for helping out. I would like to agree, but frankly, there was a similar "language" problem with HJ. I would say (and by the way, I will not be offended at all if you all want to take this with a big grain of salt, but I *am* trying to be objective) that the behavior is more trollish in that T. has offered a number of (in)sincere-sounding apologies, but doesn't change his behavior accordingly. Moreover, I am very close to positive that he has changed his user name a couple of times (although I think Zoe is correct about his not being DW) - check out entries and attempted discussion near the beginning of Clovis I and on MammaBear's talk page. Also in this vein is the fact that, when confronted by an argument he can't answer, he just moves somewhere else and launches another attack. I appreciate that he *appears* to be contrite, but I might also point out his more recent note to me on Talk:Clovis I - where he invites me to work nicely together, but, after I answered in the same place, he snidely suggested I reply 'on the proper page' as it were. Again, of course, not willing to answer specific questions or requests. SO, I must respectfully disagree with your generous assessment, Sr. Alighieri.

Yeah, I reached the same conclusion when I saw the most recent Clovis I talk comment from him. Also, see my discussion with him on his talk page. He probably is a troll after all...
