We just banned b16m. Several users have particular aspects of HN they pay a lot of attention to. It doesn't warrant personal attacks or the use of snarky epithets. We often find it helpful when they alert things to us, but we don't always accept the action they advocate. It's no big deal. If you think any of their comments are in breach of the guidelines, you can flag them and if others do the same, their comments may be killed. Or if they're not breaking the guidelines but you disagree with their comment, you can just downvote and/or reply explaning why you think they're wrong.
