How many people might get banned off an internet site for engaging in flame wars even when the people that person is posting about are incredibly stupid or similarly being inflammatory but in a less obvious ways?

We want to avoid "troublemakers", basically. If you punch someone, you might go to jail for it even if the person deserves that punch

We want everything to be "nice". Nice and sterilized (that describes Youtube and their modus operandi or Google's modus operandi for running it)

I'm not saying go ahead punch stupid people. (And besides, your own mental wellbeing exists too; ignore the idiots and those that hurt you) I'm not saying we don't need punishment broadly as a society, whether micro or macro

But y'know, sometimes things need to be said or pointed out in ways that don't completely conform to decorum
