When I see link to TC or CodingHorror (and a few other sites') post, I first read all the comments here on HN.
Even if the story is complete garbage, one can find good insights in the discussion inspired by it; often with enough data so that I don't even need to read the original if I don't think it worthwhile.
With a blanket TC ban, I'd either miss out on a good bits (if I didn't follow TC feed directly), or be more annoyed (if I did follow it and read most of what they post).
So I think the commentary here is much better filter of good vs crap than any ban or automatic filter would do.
