And still no names / details, just personal abuse.

Still, it goes to show that abuse, lying, stalking, and all manner of other
insults bandied about by Johansson don't mean what british or american english
speakers would understand by them, they each really just translate to:

noun; "one who doesn't blindly accept my fairytales"

>>
>> The chair of Classical Philology at the University of Fribourg has just
>> discovered some unpublished Greek texts dating from late Antiquity and
>> coming from the school of rhetoric at Gaza. The discovery is important
>> because it is today practically impossible to lay hands on manuscripts
>> with content dating from the 5th century.
>> It was while carrying out research on the manuscripts belonging to the
>> collections of the "Marciana" library at Venice and the French National
>> Library that Prof. Jacques Schamp and his assistant Dr. Eugenio Amato -
>> supported by the Research Fund of the University of Fribourg and the
>> Swiss National Fund - discovered the unpublished texts. These texts
>> are of considerable important, not only for their content but equally
>> because of their authors.
>>
>> The oldest of these dates to the 5th and 6th centuries, and constitutes
>> a collection of letter between Procopius of Gaza - the Christian
>> sophist and orator (ca. 465-529) of the era of the emperors Anastasius
>> and Justin I - and the young lawyer Megethios, hitherto unknown. The
>> document is problematic for the high level of very metaphorical content
>> as well as the language (this is late Greek, rather than classical),
>> and furnishes new information to scholars about the life and works of
>> Procopius of Gaza. Head of the important school of rhetoric at Gaza,
>> this great connoisseur of the works of Homer notably played an
>> important role in the transmission of the biblical corpus, in
>> particular the Old Testament. On a linguistic level, the text newly
>> discovered by the Fribourg researchers brings to light words and
>> phrases characteristic of the language used in the late period.
>>
>> The research by Prof. Jacques Schamp and his assistant Dr Eugenio Amato
>> is more complex. To locate unpublished texts, the classical
>> philologists first had to review and catalogue minutely the lists of
>> manuscripts reposing in the collections of the libraries. Once the
>> rare pearl was discovered, there begins the long labour of translation
>> and interpretation. In order to better understand the content of the
>> works and to compare translations, the Fribourg scholars worked with a
>> network of international scholars, notably with the Universities of
>> Gottingen, Milan and the Fordham University of New York.
