You haven't met Ranting Rick yet?  He's a troll's troll, outdone only by one other whose name I don't remember.

His posts are, amazingly enough, rants.  Usually about his (mis)perceptions of the failures of:

   - Python
   - The Python Leaders
   - Good Coding Practices
   - Everyone but himself (and the "Silent Majority" he represents)

He has been on vacation for a few months, but, alas, he is back.  Interestingly, even though he is still in my kill file 
I could tell the thread was his just from the subject title.
