Yitzhak,

 

How do you know if a person is a troll, a crank, or an iconoclast?

 

Wikipedia has a good article about cranks.

I think Jim is definitely not a troll. He is a person with new ideas, but he 
does not have the education to use linguistics and ancient languages to prove 
his ideas. He is good at citing scholars for most of what he says, so at 
least some of what he says might be based on some scholarly research. I think 
his ideas are interesting because scholars disagree, but can't stop answering 
him anyway. I wish I knew his secret to getting scholars to listen to his 
ideas.
