"He has not been intellectually honest and has also posted veiled personal attacks."

Utterly false.

"Certainly dishonesty and wishful thinking is the case for many on both sides of the issue. That does not excuse others' personal attacks on him."

I have explained many times that the problem with posting personal attacks is that they aren't rational arguments. Calling someone a troll doesn't disprove what they are saying. But some of the regulars on the birther threads can only reach that level of argument.

"Birther" is an attack on those who favor the birth certificate issue.

Again you are not being honest.

You called Polarik a fraud by implication whether you admit to it or not. The fact is there for all to see.

Neither should you be called a troll IMO! Though it is a certainty that you are extremely dogged and almost obsessed by this issue. Repeating the same argument and opinion over and over is troll-like behavior. Why not refer the poster to a link to thread so and so, # whatever rather than putting up essentially the same post?

Personally, I have found some items in a few of your posts thought-provoking.
