De -merit avatars for outed bigots, polemicists and apologistas ?

[emad]

Popular areas of hatred/deep seated ignorance still seem rife in certain DU topics such as:

Religion
Race
Princess Diana
'Barbara Bush is a sweet old lady, leave her alone folks'
Lieberman campaign
Hillary

etc

is it time to award "avatar de-merits" to anyone whose postings have been deemed so offensive that they are regularly struck off in a particular subject? (a kind of early warning symbol that someone has been given the red card by the referee for abusive posting on their faviourite theme?)

eg:

Toxic emissions symbol next to ecclesiastical-looking building symbol to denote religious abuse

Klu Klux Klan symbol to denote racist abuse

etc

Any nominations for a symbol to denote a general freeper?

1. That's a stupid idea. And tantamount to a personal attack.

2. Say you are being 'stalked' by someone who appears to loathe

your particular brand of politics/theology/psychology/mindset and always posts offensive polemicisms after your threads and those of others posting likeminded stuff to you?

3. Then use the alert button to notify the mods. Also,

if you think you are being 'stalked' by another DU'er, write privately to the Admins and let them handle it.

4. Big picture of Ian Paisley

For the 24/7 Catholic bashers.

Some idiot even claimed that nuns laundered drug money from the IRA to send to Polish workers! What a joke!

5. That was ME!

And what's more my attorneys have the documents to prove it!

There's a fine line between Catholic-bashing and criminal bashing: I thought the best thread on DU on that subject was the recent one about Organised Religion = Organised Crime
