Lets see if I have this straight. Sexton, one of the well entrenched
net.troublemakers gets your.favorite.newsgroup.participants upset.

They get into a flamefest with talk.bizarrites (them's the bad guys,
with the black hats, and your pals are the good guys with the white
hats.) So let's stop forwarding talk.bizarre because your pals and
fishy.dickie's pals can't behave themselves ? And it is all Sexton's
fault that you and the guys with the white hats can't control yourselves,
right ?

Lesse. Emacs & vi wars, soc.women vs the patriarchy wars, apple vs the
world of computing wars, alt.pipes vs the world wars, chinese vs orientals
wars, alt.flame vs portal && PSUVM wars, hb +/or Maroney (interchangable)
vs reality wars......where will it end ? See, if I were wearing a black hat, 
and my newsgroup sorta died off because what you ask is granted, I think I'd 
write all my black.hat.buddies and we'd simply take over your newsgroup for 
our own purposes permanently.

Some 20 years ago, I worked for Raytheon as a consultant. You've refreshed
those dated opinions quite nicely (networked memory refresh, anyone ? :-) 
Stick to technical matters. You don't seem to do well with people.
