@populardemand the response should be the same either way - if a user is being disruptive, failing to learn how to use the site, they should be cut off
@devinb This is exactly the reason why I always give people a lot of rope before deciding they're unredeemable trolls. Also why I almost always say hello/welcome to new users, even the ranty ones.

I agree with Jeff that keeping meta-discussion off sites like SO is important and useful and I guess by that yardstick Meta is a success.
Yet the purpose of a community like this isn't just to keep such distractions away from the majority of the userbase (or at least it shouldn't be). It's to gi...
