WMC lost his admin tools over his block of me during RfAr/Abd-William M. Connolley, but that was not by any means an isolated incident.
Mmmm, no. William's fuse is shorter than ideal. Obvious enough to many people, and over the years there has been much provocation over at the climate change articles. Now what was that word they use on the Internet for a provocateur?

Sprite? Spriggan? Boggart? Ogre? Hmm... Can't quite put my finger on it.

This may not be the best time to bring this up, but I am sort of annoyed that perfectly fine mannered (relatively speaking) mythological beings have been smeared in this manner.
Vandals being used as a smearword for folks who show disrespect for places where they pass through, is really borderline understandable, though I have it on good authority that they are getting a serious bum rap on that deal. The historical Vandals were nothing like what their name has been put to carry as significance.
The Trolls of mythology, however, totally got the shaft. In internet terms. "Trolling" was always a verb, originally, and never a pronoun; and it referred to techniques of fishing.

Thank you. I have often despaired of finding anyone on the net who understood that.
