But the trouble is

he just keeps on coming

Hydra-headed, as you said

So you start ignoring one - Bucks, or hoolahanelement, or whatever. He doesn't care. He just starts a new one (or two or three). It takes a while to decide whether or not the "newbie"/"long time lurker" is a Bucks or not. He always denies it at first. Sometimes he convinces some people that it's a real newcomer, sometimes not. It doesn't matter to him even if he is rumbled quickly, he just starts more.

So there is a permanent atmosphere of wondering if newcomers are Bucks or not, and it's far from simple to "ignore" him
