You are deliberately missing the point.  Our concern is not those of you
who know how to use killfiles, it is those of you who haven't been reading
povray.off-topic since the beginning and don't have appropriate killfiles
yet.  Yes, maybe most members of the community aren't reading the flamewars[1]
but the most critical members of the community - the new ones - were being
exposed to all of the unadulterated sewage that passed for discussion in
povray.off-topic.

[1] and yes, they are flamewars.  If you're one of the few people Matt never
called stupid or a liar, you obviously never tried reasoning with him.
