Ok, now I'm curious. I've been reading here (RBP, not this thread - or maybe
it is this thread) for quite some time and the name is familiar - was he the
sponson guy?

Nope, he is a non-paddler land owner who got really angry when paddlers
used "his" part of a little stream in Colorado (Was it Boulder Creek?).
In one such event he described the paddlers calling him (and his
mother?) names.

At first he would lure (new to this forum) paddlers into "discussions"
with carefully worded messages, then he'd verbally kick the **** out of
them. Most of the regular visitors knew to ignore him. Lately, he got
into a sad shadow of his former eloquent self, becoming verbally abusive
and badly worded in his responses. I think he lost his riverside land
not so long ago when his mother died.

The spamson guy was just a completely different pest: he'd post the same
posts hundreds of times, hijacking every thread, attacking people
blindly and using disgusting arguments (the deaths of children on a
paddling trip and such) to try to force paddlers (including white water
paddlers!) and the Coast Guard to sell his floatation devices... Where
Scott used to be pretty bright, spamson guy Timmy was a clear case of
someone with at least one screw loose...

It was because of the latter that I put up the trolling page.
