First and foremost I'd like it to be known that I do not like having to do this kind of thing. However in the interest of protecting the site from bad actors that seem to have unlimited time but no time to have a discussion about how to behave here. My hope is that this will lead to a discussion and a real solution to the behavior that has been causing problems here on poal.co. @Hanswormhat I genuinely tried to reason with you without resorting to using admin abilities, and your behavior is at this point just abusive. I genuinely regret its come to this.

The straw that broke the camels back is the abusive comments on almost every post. This in my view is attempting to discourage people from speaking and is attempting to use his speech to silence others. This is not acceptable and is not ban worthy but I'm not going to let it continue until a agreement can be reached.

I have not had to take this kind of action in almost a year and I'm very happy I can say that. I don't do it lightly or without a considerable amount of thought.

As always if you think I have made a mistake please call me out on it.

As long as there are good ways to manage the S/N ratio via blocking

And if there are aren't and it proves difficult to implement them?

In the ToS there is no rule against making multiple accounts. Right now you don't need a valid e-mail adress to create a new account. Even if they implement user blocking trolls could just make a new account every 10 submissions just to be an annoyance.

In Saul alinskies rules of radicals one of the rules is "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.". This is essentially what is happening here.
