I think James is also miscategorizing some other folks as trolls. I
don't know why. Ian (Piper) certainly isn't a troll, and nor is "Dorian
Gray" despite being a pseudonym.

Waaay back, DG "outed" James as being CH, which was clear nonsense.
James does seem to bear rather too much of a grudge, it must be said.

I haven't checked, but I can't imagine Ian being other than
exasperated as I've described above.

astronomy references to try and identify it, and we're reasonably
confident that it was Sol. -- Peter Corlett, asr

I'd have to agree. Ian and DG are not trolls, IMO.

James, I appreciate that Rowland really pisses you off, but the more you
react to him the worse he will get, and then you end up categorised with
him. It really is 'step away from the keyboard' time when he attacks
you. I know it's hard!
