If you go around to each little group at the party and start saying things just to be an annoyance or to purposely offend people, people are going to tell the party thrower that this guy needs to leave. If the bouncers don't want to boot you, then people will just start shutting you out until you leave by yourself. If you don't, and just keep poking at people, eventually you're going to hit a nerve that will result in everyone at the party telling you to leave. You can't roll into a party and start flinging crap at everyone and then cry foul when people tell you to GTFO.
This isn't a public street. Yoho (or anyone) can go out to the sidewalk and scream about whatever they want to no one.

Sure there are very basic rules including a rule encouraging posters to engage in discussing the topic and not specific contributors. Yet here we are in a thread with 30+ pages specifically dedicated to discussing and calling out one poster. Rules be damned.
