More Good Than Bad
Those are good ones, Chalk. I've played alongside or GM'ed the first three on your list. I've only played T2k PbP so I haven't encountered The Voices guy, but I've been in games where other player/writers ran PCs with really distinctive written "voice" (i.e. distinct personality and deep characterization).
I can see how my list comes across as largely negative. Part of that is because bad apples can really spoil the bunch, so to speak, so they tend to be pretty memorable. Asides from Ghosts, I've only personally encountered bad ones on my list once or twice- i.e. few and far between- but they're not easy to forget. Another reason is probably just the nature of PbP. One doesn't always know the other players IRL, or outside of the game. Anonymity, and the ability to just disappear at will, tends to excuse bad behavior in a lot of people's minds.
