The Yankees fans that we have had to ban tend to create accounts with baseball related names and then behave for a few weeks before being annoying enough to ban. We have our share of well behaved Yankees fans, so I'm not going to paint them in a broad brush. They just had poor parenting!
The other trolls most likely suffer from some form of mental illness. This has been a really small board and I don't know what would get someone to obsess about us for over a decade. It doesn't make sense to me.
I long for the days when A700 would proclaim every new account was Dutchy/Imperial and was there specifically to troll him whether it was true or not (usually untrue). This was really great in 2016 after the BDC board died and we got an influx of new posters.
