Yes, I'd have to agree.  Going further,  I predict that online companies
will begin to get extremely aggressive about kicking antisocial
people out of their online environments.  If you started
pushing little old ladies into fountains in Disneyland, you'd be
dragged to the gates by security in no time.

Heavy-handed?  Yes.  But ultimately, commercial providers will
realize that losing the $10 bucks a month from 1 person is better
than losing the $10 bucks a month from all 50 people that that
person ticked off.
