</div>That's what killfiles are for. You have two options:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_file" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_file</a><br>
<a href="http://bofh.ch/bofh/bsmh2.html" target="_blank">http://bofh.ch/bofh/bsmh2.html</a><br>
<br>
The first option is not perfect, as you'll still see replies that<br>
quote such people's posts. The second has a few issues with local law<br>
enforcement, but other than that, is a very effective means of<br>
avoiding seeing their posts.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The first's no good for protecting the newbies though. If <b>troll</b> flames <b>newbie</b>, then I want to be able to assure <b>newbie</b> that he's not done anything wrong or stupid.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The second is a bit better, definitely, but what I'm wanting is to delegate these tasks to python-list's admins. I'm lazy, see.</div></div>
