Plus, his spiel is off-topic, a personal accusational rant against one
individual. One only need read his words, which bespeak of personal
vindictiveness. Accusations of such have no place in this forum. It is
this same mantra, the trolls have maintained.
Here is a good explanation as to what is happening in c.o.l.advocacy:

(BTW, I am glad to see that the hyphenologist got their website up and
operating again. For a while their name defaulted to parked status.)

Subject: 3.4 The nasty Troll
If anyone does anything which will interfere with the troll's ability to
cause mayhem, they can become very nasty, posting from obviously incorrect
variations of the name etc. insults, call them netcops, netnannies,
homosexuals.
Various off usenet methods are also used to force the victim to stop
posting: Subscribing the victim to hundreds of unwanted pornographic
email newsletters, and sites. Complaining to employers about non existent
misdemeanours. Sending garbage emails without indication of sender.
Telephone calls at dead of night. Harassing the close relatives of
victims.

I have seen posts threatening Roy that fall into this category. Hadron's
complaint against all advocates including myself falls into the "non
existent misdemeanours", except complaints so far seem to have been
limited to the forum. Of course, the part about "obviously incorrect
variations of the name, etc. insults" is very characteristic of Hadron.
Then there is the small handful of trolls, relying on Google-Groups,
open proxies, anonymising remailers, with occasional free usenet
server posts and paid for (cheap) troll friendly usenet ISP's, who fit
this description to a "Tee":

Subject: 3.5 The evil and illegal Troll
If anyone does anything which will interfere with the troll's ability to
cause mayhem, they also forge posts in that persons name and internet
address and libel them on usenet. Both these are illegal.
