I remember one toxic person, not sure if I remember his name correctly so I won't post it in case it's not him, but he was banned some time ago.
Guy had over 200K rep I believe, maybe even over 300K, regular in the Soapbox.
He was very Christian, Trump supporter, against abortion and I think against gay marriage as well, as it's the holy union between two people of the opposite sex.
If you didn't agree with him he'd call you names (called me something like a murderer who wasn't worthy of the name human because I'm pro-abortion, just like more than 50% of Europeans), but he'd always say it wasn't personal and just his humble opinion.
Also, all of his opinions were facts, according to him.
Very glad to see him gone and I know I'm not the only one 
My first contact here on CP was with Henry Minute, I think.
He answered a question of mine on Custom WinForms Controls.
Very nice and helpful guy, he was a regular here too.
Guy passed away a couple of years ago, probably close to ten years already, or so someone posted in The Lounge at the time.
Very sad indeed

Also Anna, Trollslayer, and Leckey; all ran off by idiots of one sort or another. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Right, it's a pity she doesn't post any more - but who knows, perhaps she is just lurking …

If I remember well, he posted something about being fed up with CodeProject and deleted his account.
His whimsical remarks will surely be missed

I was just searching some old posts and saw some by Christian Graus, but he hasn't posted since last summer?

Not one to brag, but this one fills me with joy and pride
As of yesterday I'm renting my very own office.
I'm renting three offices with another guy I sometimes work with, so 1.5 offices per person.
We have our own office and a shared office for our employees (he has one, I almost have one).
So far, my partner worked from home and I worked from a shared space that used to be sociable, but has been getting emptier as COVID lasted.
Still waiting for my new furniture, getting a sit-standing desk, nice chairs, meeting room table, the works.
The biggest downside so far is that my commute went from 6km to 14km, still planning on taking the bike though.

Zeus lost entropy gaining gravity and mass but this was just a figure of speech. (6)
|
|
|
|
|
I just learned a new word...
ZEUGMA - see zeugma - Wiktionary[^]
ZEUS minus S (traditional symbol for entropy), plus G and MA.
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

New one on me Peter - I also didn't know S was the symbol for entropy, so it's no wonder I didn't solve it
