Work is boring

rusty_haloI hate people who use my site to leave nasty reviews. Not negative-but-fair reviews, that's fine. Debate and discussion and disagreement are all important, as long as the debate is fair and doesn't descend into personal insults.
But *nasty* reviews, where they insult the writer, or demand that the writer write to the reviewer's own personal specifications -- those piss me off so much. Because not only is it rude and horrible and casts all fic readers in a bad light, but they're using *my* review system, that I put so much effort into building, to insult the wonderful writers of stories that I carefully chose for my site. And they're insulting stories that I spent all this time archiving and building a database for. AND, they're hurting the feelings of REAL PEOPLE over a piece of fiction. It feels like a personal violation, because they're using *my* site to spread their stupid immature self-important egotistical venom.
Yeah. I really hate those people.
(I was trying to figure out why this upsets me so much, and that's what I came up with).

These people are probably twelve, of course ...
I think there's no reason you should host anything that makes you uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be profane to be venomous. But what a shame that you have to waste time hesitating, thinking about it, and seeing it gumming up your site ...
Any way you can ban people who do this more than once?
