:::--[[User:Cprompt|cprompt]]
::''(this was written before Zoe or Cprompt's latest additions here)'' Lir's original incarnation joined up about the same time as me, though I've mostly been an observer with little actual interaction with her (and I do refer to her as ''her'', since that is the gender she chooses to present herself as, for whatever reason). She has been improving, but only in fits and starts. I say be strict and ban her under every user name she uses until she evolves into a useful member of the community. Once that happens, we won't have any way of knowing that she is Liretal and she can contribute to her heart's content. As far as Dietary Fiber is concerned, I pointed out several days ago, mere moments after the edit war at [[James I of England]], that both his parents were Scottish and so it is logical to assume that he is also Scottish (these things tend to be hereditary, I've heard). She never responded to me and apparently let the matter drop. Possibly, the fact that his mother was Mary, Queen of Scots and his father was also Scottish (a fact obvious by clicking on the link, which is how I guessed) never occurred to Dietary Fiber. A user who acknowledged my statement in any way might not be a troll -- Dietary Fiber never acknowledged it and simply ignored the article. In my mind, this makes her a troll (I know nothing about history of any sort, so if I was able to deduce that he was ethnically Scottish, so should any reasonably literate person) because she did not care enough for her beliefs to let them stand up to scrutiny. Once the fun of annoying people was over because I had proved her wrong, she went away -- this is a troll who is steadily evolving into a useful person. I think [[tough love]] is appropriate here. Ban her, but don't search out her new incarnations Inquisition-style, and let her eventually become the responsible contributor she could have always been (I'm not directing this imperative at you, Cprompt, because I know you can't ban a logged-in user, I'm just venting on your talk page).
