Actually, you've misinterpreted it... it's more a form of the Heinsenberg
Uncertainty Principle (as far as I know it, anyway). So:

The entity we know as "Tybalt" in his appearances to us seems have two
forms: his moderation activities, and his e-mail address. Now, if we try
to document his moderation activities, his e-mail address changes, as as
soon as we find -out- the address as a result of documenting the
moderation, he changes it. If, however, we manage to find a reliable way
to track his e-mail address, he promptly stops moderating, as now everyone
knows where to fling their insults.

Actually, this is nothing like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.


I don't know. I think that this describes Tybalt quite accurately. You know
where he is or what his actions are, but cannot know both at the same time.
