It seems to me that application of one of these solutions reduces the effectiveness of the other. If enough persons killfile the threads, who warns the newbies? And so those who don't killfile the threads to ensure that somebody is still guarding against misleading information to newbies continue dealing with it manually.
My point was, a sufficiently persistent pest will always generate enough dissatisfaction to get people pointing out his uselessness. Even when others killfile him, there will be those that stick around to point out his foolishness to others, including any newbies who might otherwise conclude that Xah Lee knows what the hell he's talking about.
And, in fact, that's exactly what we're seeing. It just seems to me that any further institutionalization of criticism of Xah Lee's posts is unnecessary; it's already being handled, at low levels of annoyance that can be avoided by anyone with a killfile or mail filter.
