None of the above. Just a normal guy that hates to see flamewars started in
the newsgroups I do frequent. A quick look at the score card shows the
troll has managed to start some very serious flamefests insulting people of
all nationalities and races. I am just following in the footsteps of
a) trying to be more disruptive than the persona you're following around
or
b) you are in fact Dan Simper and are trying to get extra activity into
your threads once they die
c) you're for real
is just too disturbing to contemplate.
Post by Troll HunterHere is a puzzling one. "Karl-Hugo Weesberg" . This one dates back to Oct
24 2004. He was using can.uucp as his scorecard at that time.

Every month or so, using a fictitious name, this troll floods 5000
newsgroups (all cross-posted to a single low-traffic but unrelated
newsgroup) with superficially relevant comments. The purpose is to disrupt
with off-topic crosspostings.
Like all trolls, he means to annoy and disrupt. The tracking newsgroup is
the way he "keeps score" of how much damage he has caused. Don't put
yourself on display in his trophy case.
Like all trolls, the way to handle him is to IGNORE him.
Take a few minutes of your time and check out the following score cards to
see firsthand what this perverted troll is doing. I promise, you'll be
amazed at just how active and perverted he is. You will see firsthand the
troll's work and his trophies. You will see into the sickness and darkness
of the worst troll on the internet today. Read some of his posts and look
at the headers. You will see than no newsgroup is immune. You will see
flamewars started, some containing over a hundred messages.
Browse the can.uucp newsgroup, his old score card, for Karl-Hugo Weesberg
Browse the is.matur newsgroup, his current score card, for Dan Simper.
Browse the scot.tld newsgroup, his current score card, for Bruno Beam.
He is known as the "anagram troll" because his fictitious names are often
discovered to be anagrams (for example "Dan Simper" is an anagram of
"Spiderman", Bruno Beam is an anagram of "Unabomber").
This guy is a serious troll with a serious problem. Don't be one of his
trophies.
Chances are that I don't subscribe to this newsgroup. I am simply
monitoring the newsgroups the Anagram Troll is using as his score card. Any
posts from me are a result of that monitoring. I normally only post to the
newsgroup being spammed, not to the score card newsgroup, thus I will not
see any replies directly to this post.
Above all, please do not allow him to start a flamewar or extensive
discussion in your newsgroup. He thrives on that. If it is too late, don't
crosspost to his score card newsgroup. That trophy count is his motivation
to continue trolling. Please help stop him in his tracks.
