> BobDid you ever consider some kind of permanent block for cases where someone manages to stir up a whole lot of bad feelings among a lot of people, repeatedly, regardless of whether they manage to skirt the civility rules? Some people, whether they mean to or not, just seem to push a lot of buttons and create pain and chaos. If you look at the whole picture, could you judge some posters to be more of a group liability than an asset and act accordingly?
I know it would be harsh to kick someone out for good, but if you're serious about keeping Babble safe for the majority of posters, why not look at eliminating the ones that cause the most damage, instead of just uniformly sanctioning everyone for curse words and insults?
