For the record, I do not ever blacklist anyone. While it's clear (especially to those who subscribe to the OT list) that Aaron and I disagree strongly on many things, and his manner is more crude than I personally care for or would employ myself (unless I'm alone...), I really don't like even the symbolic stifling of a person represented by "plonking" someone.
There are a couple of denizens of the SuSE list realm (_not_ including Aaron) whose posts I find almost completely without redeeming value and whose posts I usually skim but briefly and largely ignore, but their posts all remain in my archive.
Censorship, even purely local / personal quasi-censorship rubs me the wrong way.

I have to agree. Once we start censorship because we disagree with someone, it is too easy to censor for the sake of censorship. If you don't like what someone says, hit the NEXT button. You never know, the person you summarily delete might be the one that warns you of something you really need to know about. The opposing point of view isn't always wrong even if it is the opposing point of view. There is often enough truth in what the opposing viewpoint suggests to examine ones own views more carefully.
