Blocking posters is not a solution to all problems. Trixie makes an average of 10 posts per day all over the site. People respond to her stuff and threads get derailed as a result. Examine her posts… How many of them are on-topic? How many of them are intentional nonsense? Unintentional nonsense??
Why did you lock that thread instead of blocking the participants?
What a way to run a railroad.
