I would, honestly, ban any and all trolls and anti-fans. I would advocate for middle-ground discussions that are more intellectual than the idiocy that we see 'round these parts.

This is why I tend to get downvoted a lot, because I'm too intellectual for a hivemind. I'm too different to where I just get completely attacked with ad-hominem attacks. This isn't about me being intellectual, however, as I advocate for it.

Just read my writing, and you'll see why.
