I can't put anyone on the /ignore list. It feels antithetical to the purpose of being in a Conversation place. I am also a believer in Free Speech, by default that includes that bad speech can only truly be solved with MORE speech, not less.
My Dorm is a harem AVN. I like it. Thanks to the dev. When is the next update?
There - this post is now indisputably on-topic regardless of whatever comes afterward. 
Unfortunately it seems the overlords feel differently.
Because in many threads they seem to look the other way when trolls and others post thinly veiled off-topic hate and
only step in once anyone tries to respond and educate, it makes Ignoring my first option nowawdays.
Like you I would
prefer to reason. I could debate just about any topic
ad nauseum in a cemetary until the dead would rise from their graves eventually just to get away from me.
But it also is quickly obvious who is listening with an open mind and who is merely there intentionally making inflammatory posts to get reactions, and those people aren't listening no matter how hard any of us try.
So I have NO problem Ignoring individuals once they have been given a chance or two to engage constructively and instead go on being pointlessly inflammatory. Especially since the PTB don't seem to ever step in until
long after the fact anyway...and then they just punish everybody because it's easier. [As the oldest sibling this is definitely triggering.

But I am glad there are more patient people than me out there like yourself.
