I think he has. >Erik's behavior certainly doesn't excuse Jeroen's response.

Mail-bombing is serious, serious stuff. I never threatened with mail-bombing. Mail-bombing is the practice of sending a huge number of messages within a very short time frame in order to overload a server. What I said was that I would send a full list of unproven claims and unanswered questions at least once every 24 hours, and reply to every message Erik sends with a reminder that he still has to provide proof and answers. At most, that would generate about 10-15 messages per day, spread over several hours. That does not qualify as a mailbomb.
