RHP Public Forum trolls are by definition subject to being banned. There's no margin in speculating on any who may still be here. imo

Note: I for one am far more concerned with the present status of friends who have suddenly disappeared: SwissGambit "Last moved 395 days 1 hour and 46 minutes ago"; as well as LemonJello "Last moved 116 days 7 hours and 2 minutes ago" and ~TONY~! "Last moved 102 days 6 hours and 35 minutes ago." with whom I have chess games in progress.

It's typical of you to "slander the dead" rather than show the forthright honesty to name the names you would love to name, if you had the courage.

Well here's the question you asked all of us. Why don't you answer it yourself? Which active site member(s) should receive a forum ban and for how long, in your opinion?

I doubt they would class you as a "friend".

But anyway, if you are more concerned about these posters than you are about answering on target questions about your own thread topic, then why not start a thread about them?

I didn't ask for your opinion, I asked you who here at RHP you considered to be the trolls you are referring to on this wonderful thread. After consideration you responded with the name of a poster you hasn't been here for nearly two years. Powerful "poignant" stuff from you indeed.

Sure I do; just as over the years other site members have had their "Accounts Suspended".
Crux reason why is that they arrogantly ignored applicable RHP Terms of Service:
Here's another question you asked everybody a while back: "Why do some people get their kicks out of criticizing other people in public?" So, it seems appropriate here. Why don't you answer it? Why do you get your kicks out of criticizing other people in public?

Grammy Bobby has been forum banned more times than most of the regular posters have been, put together. Clearly Russ doesn't care for GB's posting as much as GBs cares for the ToS 😵

YerATroll:
“YerATrolls are those whining forumites who devote a tremendous amount of time and energy complaining about the tremendous amount of time an energy expended by Troll Bashers and Angry Forumites on the practice of troll-hunting. A self-righteous and hypocritical breed, YerATrolls spend all their time pointing fingers at everyone but trolls, petulantly demanding that their opinions be granted the significance the YerATroll believes they deserve.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)

Agenda Troll: “Agenda trolls are those participants who join a forum specifically to pursue an agenda of their own, often a feud or grudge with another member, or perhaps a dispute with some party not participating in that forum. When a flame war erupts on another board, for example, Agenda Trolls will follow their opponents to other forums in order to continue the spat.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)

Sophist Troll: “Sophist Trolls, or “philotrolls,” fancy themselves Enlightened Philosophers or Learned Experts of the highest order. Often well educated, Philotrolls are capable of speaking intelligently on a number of topics, and when the spirit moves them they can be worthwhile forum participants. Unfortunately, Sophist Trolls are an extremely hostile and intolerant species.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)

Affected Profundity Troll: “A mutant subspecies of Sophist Trolls, Affected Profundity Trolls post endless pages of pretentious drivel that is intended to appear wise, but which generally makes little sense (if any). Affected Profundity Trolls enjoy asking themselves questions, sometimes answering them and sometimes leaving them hanging, for they believe this looks intelligent and lends an aura of mystery to their incoherent ramblings.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)

Don King Troll: “Related to Affected Profundity Trolls, Don King Trolls spout gibberish in the hope that they’ll either bore or confuse to death those with whom they disagree. The average Don King Troll is “a pursuitist who gromulates his adversarial computerists with height defining formulations to the disinterestingest adjunct.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)

Artistic Troll: “A higher species of Classic Troll, Artistic Trolls are intelligent individuals who understand the subtle art of trolling, and who do what they do specifically to make others look foolish. Often employing the techniques of Deceptive Trolls, Artistics will string forumites along until some point in time designated by their own desires, at which point they will reveal the ploy, admit that it was a ploy, and laugh at everyone for being stupid enough to fall for it.” (2006 Ubuntu Forums , Trolls)" (to be continued) https://www.ipredator.co/troll/

The thread is called "Things You'd Like to Know" - Thread 162364 - and you posted it on 14th February (my time here in Indonesia ~ presumably you are about 12 hours behind us). drewnogal's suggested answer was "Because they need to be loved." Is that correct in your case? Do you get your kicks out of criticizing other people in public because you need to be loved? Is drewnogal right? Or perhaps you get your kicks for some other reason. I'd be interested to hear.

Thanks for your prompt reply. "Things You'd Like to Know" has 63 pages. On which of those pages does this question appear?

You posted the question on what probably would have been the 13th February 2015 where you are.
