I can certainly put up with Linda's posts, which I do not normally read. But I think that when someone posts personal remarks that might damage someone else's reputation it is appropriate to bar the poster from a mailing list or newsgroup, if feasible. Incidentally, I don't think the nonsense-to-sense ratio on this list is inordinately high. I read the sci.math list, which is at least 90% gibberish. I'd put the ratio here at under 10%.
