Whenever a controversial thread pops up here, there are bound to be people who try to rile up the crowd. Unfortunately I think a lot of people fall for the bait, because they are getting exactly what they want when a barrage of people respond to them. They obviously expect and probably even want to get banned as a way to either prove some form of self - righteousness or to just cause the most trouble. While they do deserve to be banned, I don't think it's productive or really useful to waste time on them, just report and move on.
