This is for the number of people at LiveJournal who think that livemerlyn is not me. It is.
One of the signs of trolling that I've learned to look for (when I have to ban someone from my journal or a community I moderate) is someone who only posts replies to other people and doesn't post anything in their own journal. You're looking awfully suspicious on that account.
And how do we know you're not some imposter who just hacked Randal's account here? Say something only Randal would know!

Personally, I find this post compelling (I'm one of the aforementioned folk from LJ). Yes, it's possible that someone hacked the account, but I don't think it likely. Unless I see compelling evidence to the contrary, I think that I'm going to believe that "livemerlyn" on LJ and Randal Schwartz, star of stage, screen, andbooks are one in (and?) the same.for $ANIMAL ("llama","camel","alpaca","gecko \(the animal, not the rendering engine\)")

As long as you treat that heuristic as suggestive, rather than as conclusive, it has some merit I suppose. It actually discriminates reactive from proactive; you use that to suggest anti-active and there is probably some amount of statistical correlation, but I don't think it is especially huge.
