He isn't writing paragraphs of condescending trolling like you are

As far as "hijacking", he's got one or two posts in most threads, and if it isn't talking about green he doesn't bring it up. The times he does being up the PNP/DPS race shit, it's at the very least tangentially related to the thread subject or it's responses and again, only a couple posts.

but in this case you seem to be vastly, vastly, overstating OP's post history and just running with the mob. It's just overall really strange.

In all honesty, it sounds like you didn't really try very hard. I don't blame you: reading the random posting history of random posters isn't the most fun thing in the world, and that's even more true when the poster in question endlessly talks about something dumb like eliminating the PnP.
But look, I have absolutely nothing against Zura or any other poster in particular that I can think of ATM. I
have had some beefs with people over the years (eg. Mick, Scarred Child), but they've all been the sort of people who eventually got themselves banned, so today I have nothing personal against anyone (that I can remember at least ... I do smoke a lot of pot).
But, I very much noticed a pattern in Zura's posting. As you said, they'd find a thread about Green, find some
tangential angle to bring up his "get rid of the PnP" idea, and then he'd reply to (pretty much literally) every response to his idiotic idea. Very quickly the thread would become yet another "everyone vs. Zura" argument over the PnP.
To be clear, changing a thread topic (on purpose or on accident) is not wrong. Arguing forcefully, even for a losing position, is not wrong (clearly if I didn't agree with that I would never defend rotations in RnF). But when you display a consistent pattern of taking over other people's thread, forcing the exact same conversation to happen, and then not even really having a conversation at all, just yelling until everyone gives up trying to communicate with you ... that's rude.
Zura has something they feel passionately about. They
really want a PnP-less Green. Lots of nerds here feel uber-passionate about their stupid nerdy thing (/cough the wiki /cough). I have no issue with passionate nerds.
What I do have an issue with is someone interjecting their pet topic, over and over and over again, into threads that previously were about something else ... and then NOT DIALOGUING IN ANY OF THEM. Never once did Zura ever listen to anyone in any of those threads. He also never once changed a single mind of a single person reading ... because he wasn't trying to.
All he wanted to do was take over any Green thread he saw and then (virtually) shout as loud and as hard as he could about his pet topic, knowing full well that no one had any interest in what he had to say (because they'd told him as much in the last five threads), and not actually trying to engage or sway anyone, just yelling a lot. And that bugged me.
