Stuart was an odd fellow that promised much and then basically did not deliver whilst becoming more and more truculent with the other forummers, so I'm not sure how happy people are to go down that route again. He also used other accounts to to add to the confusion. His purpose? Who knows?
We seen it with the recent Loch Ness monster thread as well:

I feel the guy Justin Case behaved quite similarly to Stuart in some ways.
Another visitor found some rocks that he felt were carved and also didn't really like when it was suggested they were natural:

These posters either claim superior knowledge of a Fortean phenomenon and get angry when asked to provide evidence. Or they have an unshakable belief in something and just will not accept criticism. Some just come here to troll.
I'm not sure why people can't see what this forum is about? We are going to politely, (most of the time), challenge an individual. That's what we do, we are here to seek evidence and explore the impact the weird and wonderful has on the individual. We need to be provided with information we don't just accept it on face value.
There have been great posters who have accepted that this is what we are going to ask and understand it. Recently the Fire Sprites thread is one:

Or Mr T-H in the panic in the wood thread:
