What happens when someone has about 22 of those nemeses guys?

The whole NG goes to hell.

As far as people who are so upset with somebody else that they have
their wife spending time paging through 40-50 year old issues of the
NYT looking for any mention of a "fire boat welcome", who can't let
any thread run very far without adding some nonsense about a
"Zimmerman-like lobsta boat", and who routinely launch a thread for
the express purpose of attacking another poster in the NG? There are
closer to two than to 22.

Most of the attack posters hide behind anonymous handles, and there is
no reason to believe that some of them aren't using a couple of sock
puppets to reinforce their hateful message.

Closer to 2 than 22, by far.

Obsessive: Those poor guys are consumed with their own disdain for
another person, probably beyond the point where it's healthy.

Compulsve: Several people post compulsively here, ("Hey, I just bought
a new bicycle, went out to dinner, visited a relative, got new tires
for the pickup, etc".....several times a week). But not all are
obsessed with a single subject or individual.

Nenesis fixation: Pretty obvious, just look at the content.
