I've got scores of killfile elements, key words, users, all kinds of stuff.

So it *remains* a problem because as stated upstream: The experience is
cluttered with otherwise well-meaning people doing their civil duty by
"shaming", lecturing and generally givin the trolls their deparately

the "shamer", the topic poops out because it's clogged with nothing but
refuse.
