If you're worried about old moderation threads being brought back to life, there's no need to remove them entirely. In most cases, a lock will work just fine.

I agree with AngryCola on this.

A lock, as against a deletion, also allows others to see the type of posts a certain poster makes. If these are constantly unreasonable, then readers will take no heed of them, in any case. If they have all been deleted, no one will have the opportunity to check back - as many readers like to do.

No one likes to be criticised for no valid reason, and I understand your feelings; but you should remember that you are respected by the majority and that the majority think of these troublemakers more as trolls than valued posters.

Less reaction by you, as hard as it may be at the moment, will definitely lead to less comment about you. That is without doubt the First Law of a troll.
