You seem confused about the point of this thread and your position about it. It is not about ignoring Anonymous Monk, it is about being able to ban him.

No. Read the first post of this thread again. It isn't about banning anonymous monk from this site.

You are also missing the fact that ignoring Anonymous Monk will do you exactly no good at all in ignoring signed trolls.

Did I say it will? Does it matter? Wearing safety belts does me no good in preventing fire in my house; does that mean there's no point in wearing safety belts?

This means Abigail does not want to prohibit Anonymous Monk posting, because then all trolls will be signed, and she will have achieved the opposite of what she was after in the first place.

Huh?

Abigail
