I just wanted to express that such a system, no matter how it is
implemented, if it ends in listmasters banning people, is not a good
idea.
Flames should be ignored. Every one, once in a while, has been a troll
or a flamer. They should be ignored in that moment, but not banned,
kicked, expelled or $whatever.

Then what will a poll solve? Kicking people from lists? Flamebaits only
react to being ignored, it you kick them, they will return with more
shit. Making a poll to mark who is a flamebait (or an asshole) will not
make them disappear. And we all know who they are. Or at least we have
our own opinions (which may not be shared) of who they are.

Because each side will like their poll, their way. And there will be a
flamewar about *the poll*. This is Debian.
