I think we're veering off the point here. It's not a question of agreeing or getting along, it's a question of some people being one step (maybe a half) above a troll, and just squeaking by not getting TOS'ed. Just seeing the name raises blood pressures across the board.

The choices are... try to not read a word of what they post (hard to do), complain enough and try to get them booted out of here, or hit an 'ignore' button and never have to see the wall of incendiary text they routinely post. The last is actually the easiest and most benign choice.

If there were one idea, one word posted by such a person, that was meant to do anything but be argumentative or inflammatory, we wouldn't be discussing this. Nor do I think this is a person who is likely to mature or change his combative style.  At least I've not seen any indication of this in the years I've been here.
