I was one of Eugine's targets (though to a lesser extent than some). I have ~6200 karma and ~90% positive.

I think David Gerard was one of Eugine's targets. He has >8000 karma and ~75% positive.

Stuart Armstrong was (so at least one of his comments suggests) one of Eugine's targets for a bit. He has >13000 karma and ~90% positive.

Cyan says he was one of Eugine's targets. He has ~5000 karma and ~90% positive.

Ialdabaoth was one of the first people (maybe the first?) to complain of Eugine's abuse. He has ~2000 karma and ~75% positive.

In the course of looking out prominent contributors who were hit by Eugine, I didn't find anyone who looked like they might have been high-karma and high-positive-proportion without Eugine's attacks.

[EDITED to add: For the avoidance of doubt, the above is not intended to be a complete list, nor a list of the highest-karma, best-positive-fraction, most-abused-by-Eugine, or any other such selection. It's just some examples I noticed.]

I currently have 685 karma at 65% positive. Assuming 200 downvotes from Eugine, upvotes of X, and legitimate downvotes of Y, then X/(X+Y+200) = 65% and X-Y-200=685. Solving gives Y=599, X=1484. So without Eugine I would have had 885 karma at 71% positive.

If I had 300 downvotes from Eugine, that would be Y=511, X=1496 which is 985 karma at 75% positive.
