Just like if you buy 1 cup of coffee you apparently can shoot heroin and smear feces within the Starbucks stores all day every day. Nobody is allowed to do anything about it because otherwise you're "responding to bait" or "feeding the trolls".

I speak for myself, but I'd like to think the sentiment is shared by others here.

Not a perfect analogy because I like Poal and I don't like Starbucks, but it makes sense to me.

Sucks to be one of those poor saps trying to enjoy the rest of the coffee shop... or the rest of the website. But hey, as long as your niche sub stays above the fray and squeaky clean, ignore the rest of the site.

obvious sarcasm is obvious

Moreover, since it is really pretty hard to keep someone out on a public site where making a new account takes minutes, isn't it better to discourage bad behavior and offer an alternative? A ban doesn't really neutralize the problem of bad actors. Better to discourage bad behavior when it occurs, allow good behavior, and keep everyone under the same account name so that no matter how many good boy points they think they've collected we can still remember who they are.
