It's always really easy to use a personal ban (IE: killfile). Just stick a list of email addresses somewhere and configure a mail client rule to autodelete all messages from those addresses. My list now has about a hundred addresses (including Jörg's). If they later decide to be mature/polite/etc and wish to resume discussions, they're welcome to create a new email account and start posting from there.
Cheers, Kyle Moffett
