It isn't about banning anonymous monk from this site.
Where did I say it is about banning Anonymous Monk from the site entirely? I said it is about banning him; from single threads at the thread creator's discretion, but banning him nonetheless. This is not the same as ignoring him, which means letting him post and but filtering out his nodes.
Wearing safety belts does me no good in preventing fire in my house; does that mean there's no point in wearing safety belts?
False analogy. It would fit if wearing safety belts actively increased the likelihood of fire in your house. Abolishing Anonymous Monk is not completely orthogonal to the existence of signed trolls.
