I've noticed this phenomenon even here at rfm. Posts on "off topic" threads will often quickly pull rare posters out of the woodwork for drive-by sniping and efforts to skew the conversation, often using ad hominems and other personal attack teks. I've seen this happen on other boards as well. Am I the only one here paranoid enough to sense this phenomenon? :)

Many of them are used by our TBM type trolls, and in the wider TBM community.
