Let me get this straight. Someone posts a few trolling messages on a
newsgroup and, rather than kill-filing him (which must be so colossally
difficult because he morphs between a whole *two* addresses), you report
him to the police? Am I alone in thinking this is a wildly inappropriate
response?

Apparently so.


Oh. Well, thanks for the clarification.

People's behaviour never ceases to amaze me...

They wouldn't be interesting without a diverse range of behaviour. But, coming back to the person in question, IMHO, they have had sufficient warnings etc. to have been able to modify their behaviour - if they wanted to - and, as they haven't, and as they have been told on numerous occasions that many people find it offensive they must surly be doing it deliberately not as a troll but to offend.
