"La la la, I'm not listening, and I don't think you should either". If you're going to ignore posts which you find awkward, that's up to you (unhelpful behaviour though it is), but don't infect the threads which contain them by trying to get others to adopt your bad attitude.

(If you and your ilk just said "We don't like people who have certain viewpoints posting them in this newsgroup", that would be much nearer the mark, and that way, people like judith might actually respect your wishes, whereas no-one tends to bother respecting the wishes of those who are lying about what those wishes are. I know that if people responded to my posts with things like "We don't want people posting anti-camera viewpoints in here, however correct they might be, because we prefer not to have to debate such issues as it tends to make us look silly", I'd be much more likely to disappear from here than I am with the current "Go away, troll" reaction which I get from people who know that they can't refute my points.  Just a little honesty, in place of the current unsporting, obnoxious, predictable and repetitive behaviour from those who don't like being proved wrong, would go a very long way. So, anyone who really wants me to go away knows what they have to do...or is telling the truth an even worse prospect for you trolls than me staying here? I suspect it is, but we shall see.)
