I know next to nothing about him. He did though, in a private message, postpone a further response because he was spending the afternoon 'with his son'.

I've never understood this. Was it Geoffrey Howe who was once compared to a 'dead sheep'? I have to say that attacks from Rats are similarly intimidating. Posting under his own name the guy is semi literate, often devoid of reason and incapable of posing a threat without the title of 'mod'.
No wish to emulate the Tory Party by disagreeing amongst ourselves, but wouldn't we achieve more by supporting Stenson back on the Derby board and just returning to Norfolk for a bit of R&R or even, at the risk of sounding ridiculously clandestine, communicating by email.
Anag your missing the pint, here is a DDD/R4J free zone for posting , IF we can be disciplined enough to ignore the elephant on the Forum then fine otherwise chat on here call your fellow posters over and leave DM until its googlechid free.
Oh make no mistake about Rats he was constant and vicious in his attacks, even to the point of posting insulting cartoons and being continually condescending, (he can get very childish when he wants) the bad blood between me and him goes back to those days when I was not intimidated by a key board warrior and gave back as good as I got.
There is a reason he still takes every chance to be insulting and abusive about me when ever he can, it doesn't bother me because the guy clearly has an obsession against anyone who challenges his point of vie, though funnily enough you seem to escape his wrath?
Missing the 'pint'? Well, if you're buying.
Okay, I'll give the first bit (another!) try. It is difficult when he attacks another poster though.
I've noticed that about Rats not really having a go at me too. Weird...I mean I don't want him too particularly but he does tend to go for you more than anyone. Promise we have no association. Just after I joined someone told me to watch out for Rats...never understood what all the fuss was about.
I think its rather because you are such a calm reasonable poster who just states the facts, whereas he and I have previous on DM, I agree being savaged by rat is like being savaged by a dead sheep, though frankly I'm not bothered by anything posted on tinternet, its hardly as if they know who you are is it, so if its ones opinions or views being dissed, so what?
However, his approach was exactly what he has since called others out for recently which I find rather ironic - he does so want/need for his views or posts to be taken seriously and of course he used to boast he was a world traveller, but we see less of that these days.
Never fear Swale I know exactly who Rat is....name/email/linkedin etc
But care must be taken posting in both places as our posting history is open to all. He can still card us there - and for you and me its red- and I wouldnt put it past him to card people on dcfc for something said on ncfc and bans are global now
I'm certain r4j/DDD are something to do with rat, why else would they get total immunity, just a thought but didn't roland rat have an infant brother called Little Reggie and his friends included a technical whiz-kid called Errol the Hamster and "number one ratfan" Kevin the Gerbil, maybe they are all related, couldn't we pm Romanis, he seems able to investigate and check IP addresses.
An interesting theory, but Stenson I think he enjoys having a poster who everyone else dislikes and feels a kindred spirit, but then again R4J and DDD are certainly multiple personalities, how else would the same poster go from reasonably intelligible phrases to posts where the spelling of words is wrong and the wrong meaning s ascribed to words to the extent that it seems the poster is barely literate?
The only approach is to put DDD on ignore, not respond to his posts and continue the discussion amongst ourselves, if your not interacting with him then no rules have been broken and it ceases to be irritating.
