  Ooh, a deranged stalker! You’ve arrived…!

  Some of these web stalkers are very persistent; one guy even set up a blog purely for the purposes of attacking Jane Galt, the US blogger who now writes for the Economist. Sad.

  Tim adds: Jane is now Megan at The Atlantic but yes, I recall that. There’s even been a Worstall Watch: although whoever was doing that got bored very quickly.

  But you haven’t answered the all important question, Tim.

  Nevertheless

  “one guy even set up a blog purely for the purposes of attacking Jane Galt, the US blogger who now writes for the Economist.”

  And another to rubbish the writings of that doyenne of the Guardian - Polly Toynbee.
  Shame he gave it up, it was excellent.

  Presumably you’ve looked up “António Luís Costa” on Wikipedia:

  “António Luís Costa is an ex-GNR soldier from Santa Comba Dão, Portugal, who killed three young women. On 31 July 2007 the court found the defender guilty of all crimes except for the crime of hiding the body of one of his victims, since she was still alive when she was thrown to the Atlantic ocean….

  On 31 July 2007 the court found the defender guilty of all crimes except for the crime of hiding the body of Isidoro, since she was still alive when she was thrown to the ocean.[10] The defender was sentence to 64.5 years in prison[8], reduced to 25 years, the maximum penalty under the Portuguese law. The defense lawyer announce that the defense will appeal the conviction.[11]”

  I hope you’re not going to deface his Wikipedia entry or defame his good name.

  Why does he read your blog, if he detests you so much?
