The list is far from complete... many of these guys are reciprocal friends and all live nearby, it is a cultural thing mostly. It's like: we don't give a fuck and we critique everything is stupid, except they have an impressive lack of arguments and a very big focus on things they dislike. I can ensure you that unfollowing is not enough of an option... both at-messages and the search timelines are full of their tweets.
IMHO to deal with these guys the good recipe is:
1) If they have some remotely valid point, reply with arguments, try to move them into the "arguments land", and maybe they'll say something useful for a give project / community after all.
2) If they are trolling, you have two options, the wise one is ignoring them and just provide facts if it is a group-conversation on Twitter. Otherwise if you feel like that (I do), troll back. Usually this kind of personality is found in insecure people, it is not hard to find their weakness and troll back, can be quite funny actually.
