Good Guy and that dickhead who wears monikers like burpedfartedJustice.

Hmm. Depends on your definition of obnoxious. Certainly there are plenty
who are _irritating_, but for me to find someone _obnoxious_, I _think_
they'd have to sincerely hold (and not just troll with) certain
opinions, e. g. racist or misogynist, that I find offensive.

(Also, while sympathising - I presume Rene's post was prompted by
something one of the irritatings did - I can't really see what such a
vote/discussion would _achieve_.)

Good Guy has a refrain; "how are idiots to know they're idiots unless
you tell them?"
Now, I don't sanction his bigotry for an instance. But I'll paraphrase
his question; "how are people of good intent to know that there are
others like them around amidst all the pig-ignorance?"
This group has been good in the past. We must keep the standard as high
as it has been, and let like-minded others know that they're not alone".
