As someone who used to grade quite a few essays, I found that I am well enough attuned to writing style that I could recognize my students' writing often, even when they neglected to put their names on the paper. How a person strings words together and how his personality is revealed by his writing tells a great deal.
The person with whom you are currently arguing -- a fairly recent addition -- has writing that bears a striking resemblance to a person with whom you were very recently arguing in the comments section to one of Joan's blogposts. I had been arguing with that person as well and finally lost all patience with him and put him on my ignore list.
Upon reading Toecutter, a little light bulb came on and I put him immediately on my ignore list as well.
Just thought you might like to know.
