If a community makes a black list, it won't hurt free speech. Posters will reform the way they post to avoid getting on a community blacklist. That would promote civil discourse over time, which is something sorely lacking from bitcointalk at the moment.

Behavior modification achieved through censorship and/or the threat of? Splendid. More power to anonymous devs!
Reminds me of George Orwell's 1984.

"We do not merely destroy our enemies, we change them. Do you understand what I mean by that?"
"We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us; so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him."

Nail on the head. Scary times.

Programmed thought using language. You should go back and read your Orwell again.

"threat"
"destroy"
"enemies"
"destroy"
"heretic"
"resists"
"destroy"
"capture"
"nail"
"scary"

With that language, you are either attempting to program or have been programmed.

Which is it?
