okay taboo is not comparable to tony for multiple reasons
he tends to turn any argument into a massive flame war against himself by being dismissive and intentionally dense or something. he seemed like a reasonable enough person but he'd always go into some handicap mode whenever confronted with a losing situation and like Blockchip, wouldn't stop posting. Tony on the other hand straight up ignores posts, not respond to them with some dismissive comment, and thus any argument with him eventually dies down as people realize there is no point in continuing. Yes, occasionally he stuffs up threads with multiple consecutive posts but its never to nitpick or boil down someones post and respond to every little bit with some snide dismissive comment, rather just posting more self-supporting circlejerk-like statements
tony may be cancerous, but hes a benign cancer. Taboo would fight back every time he felt affronted on topics he didnt even care about, or are totally irrelevant and pointless. I respect him as a modeler and modder but past that, he's not someone who anyone would even ironically keep around. tony vs taboo (assuming neither trolls/trolled, which is a long shot) is like an avid redneck Annoying Orange supporter vs a self-entitled 1%er who always claims the moral high ground. one is funny given the right context, the other is just pure cancer
