I'm continually baffled by the fact people keep replying to Cunc. There is nothing in his actions over the last month that distinguishes him in anyway from a good old fashioned Troll.
He and I had a very nice private conversation not so long ago in which we both ended up apologizing sincerely for a quarrel we had about some things that were said in a debate on Wikipedia itself.
I think that the fundamental characteristic of a troll is that a troll deliberately tries to generate more heat than light, as an end in itself. I think that in the case of the Cunc, this isn't quite accurate. I think he's trying to generate light. He's just difficult and inflammatory.
