Let me (hopefully) clarify this for you.
I am definitely baiting lucas, no question about that at all. I do not
like him as a person, which is something I can't say about anyone else to
be found on Usenet - that I can think of.

OTOH, 99% of other objectionable Usenet personalities (in whatever form
that may be) are to me not an issue at all. I may or may not respond to
them... I might even stir them up sometimes.

But lucas is one messed up dude in a very malevolent way - and he bites
SO well - even when he's pretending to ignore certain people's posts...
His other replies always betray him on that score

There are plenty of unpleasant characters to be found on Usenet - most
are harmless or out for a bit of fun (in their own way).
Some are fruitloops (but basically innocuous) and some have some very
ugly personality traits. With lucas, he's one of the few individuals I
really do not like as a person - he is both a bully AND a coward - and
any of my posts relating to him sends him into a rage (he still reads my
posts). Yes, I enjoy baiting the arsehole.

"Stalking" is inaccurate, because I am not following him around - at
least that is my definition of stalking.
I've been to this group previously, albeit quite some time ago, if thats
what you mean. GG may have me archived there.
I know some of his previous nicks and other info simply because I've
known of him and his posts for several years (at least) in other groups,
and everything was sourced from his own posts.

Some are, some are very naive too.
But I do know what your saying.
TFM® asked the question - I hopefully provided some answers for them.

I personally think that for most people, that is true.

For anyone weaker/older/vulnerable - I honestly think he'd be capable of
anything, given the opportunity.

In closing, I guess we either agree to disagree, or if it's a big enough
problem for you - then filter my posts. I have no problem with that and
nothing personal as far as I'm concerned if you do.
