Actually he is a "troll". I chose my words carefully. In Usenet usage, 
a "troll" is not a grumpy monster that lives beneath a bridge accosting 
passers-by, but rather someone who makes a provocative posting to a 
newsgroup intended to produce responses. Its origin is apparently connected
with fishing in rivers. 

This is just what everybody says that Ron Gatrelle is doing.
