Well, that is a bit of a problem isn't it, since I have posted that is
is inappropriate to brag about who you killfile. I have filters for spam
and I have to admit that I accidentally filtered Joseph Littleshoes, but
that was because of all the spam about shoes. That has been rectified.
There is the "Idiots" filter, which has the names of four people who are
particularly obnoxious, along with one person who became increasingly
annoying by keeping track of the number of posts on a particular thread
trying to get it to hit 1,000. Then there is another filter dedicated to
one particular name, which eliminates him, his name shifts and his
stalkers.

Wise move. Some people claim to actually enjoy some of the people who I
have filtered. That is enough to diminish my opinion of those people,
just as seeing who they have filtered might diminish it even more.
