They're going to bring it in here whether we like it not. Then when you post elsewhere they're going to pile on you as a zealot.

You have plenty of tools to avoid ignorance such as ignore, hide and alert. I'm suggesting we have some sort of consensus system for banning people rather than just individual whim.
