"::Well, I've had WQAs and ANIs filed on me for far less (though I've been universally acquitted as well).  No matter the problem, saying someone is a ""vile human being"" is an expression of vitriol that, however justified the anger and how bad the behavior was, should be viewed as hyperbole said to friends over a beer, not on a public WP talk page, that's all.  For all we know, the other user is just a frustrated, lonely guy who lives in his mom's basement. That's not vile, it's just sad and if he's mean to boot, then also problematic, but pouring gas on the fire doesn't solve the problem (a swift block in the ass does, however, and is an underutilized option for trolls).  I can think a user is crazy/evil/vindictive/horrible and tell all my friends about it, but to go soliciting input on the inherently evil nature of someone is not helpful when the problem is their on-wiki behavior.  If they'd been doing real harm to me in real life, like stalking, threatening (and on-wiki, that's blockable!), hurting my pets or family, whatever, then maybe.
