From the Information he pled to:

    ALAN W. FILION,
        a/k/a "Nazgul Swattings,"
        a/k/a "Torswats V3,"
        a/k/a "Third Reich of Kiwiswats,"
        a/k/a "The Table Swats,"
        a/k/a "Angmar," and
        a/k/a "Torswats"
Seems like a fun guy. It looks like most of this story was covered a year ago:

Are you meaning to tell me that people who make references to the Nazis a part of their identity might not be the most well-adjusted people around?

Maybe they're talking about the Tolkien references (just kidding)
