Regarding your struck comments: Actually such a situation _did_ occur, and actually with a somewhat prominent member of the perl community. After enough people /msgd about it, and he was borged a few times, and there were nodes edited etc, he got the point and stopped. He still visits occasionally, but the trouble went away. Peer pressure and the tools already availble are absolutley sufficient to deal with any such scenario, and have done so in the past.

I should mention though that I personally am disappointed that the person to whom I am refering chose not to continue hanging out here much. I feel despite the problems of sometimes being offense he was overall a positive and valuable contributor. I hope one day he returns.
