But let face it:
The biggest problem here is that we (and, sadly, I have to include myself in this) tend to pick, pick, pick at something or someone until it stops being even mildly funny and just becomes boring to everyone except maybe the immediate participants.
The inability to recognize when a joke is not only dead, but has been ground into a fine powder, is an inherent staple of the boards that does not need to disappear. I'd merely contain it to the right forums. MEM may be a "Liberal Crazy" in the Politics Forum, but in the Comics or Media forum, he should just be MEM. I'm sure exceptions can be made for people like Whomod, Black Machismo, etc. who deserve tooling at all opportunities. But, for the permanent members there should be a line...
