This statement here (imo) is just flat out wrong and ridiculous - especially in this circumstance.

All of these problems about email sponsors to screw someone over isn't "The Community" - it's almost always someone with their knickers in a knot. The easiest example is /r/starcraft, it's infamous for a vocal minority starting a cause and claiming that they are the voice of the whole. Dox's example that affected him was also a vocal minority - a personal grudge. (regardless of that circumstance)

To say that it's the role of the community is just plain wrong. I couldn't disagree more - ESPECIALLY in this circumstance. We shouldn't be exiling someone just because we don't like them. That's absolutely, stupendously retarded. I will never support it. I dislike a lot of people - but I'm not going out of my way to remove them completely just because they're rude on forums - that's just stupidity at maximum.
