He specifically referred to this post, and from what I understand, he wants posts like that one to be opt-in. Although I don't agree with that approach, I get where he's coming from. There's nothing constructive about a post like that. All it does is scare away new users and ruin the experience for others, especially the person being replied to.

Anyway, this clearly falls under Pyramid of Debate (name-calling) and the solution is to report the user. So I'm not calling for censorship. Just pointing out that /u/FediNetizen is probably talking about something different from what you have in mind.

Calling Jews terrible things or muslims "sandn-word"

I think this is precisely what he's talking about. But I'll leave it up to him to clarify on that.

Yes, crap like that should not be posted. It is not a logical refutation or argument or criticism against Judaism or Jewish supremacism or anything for that matter. All he did was categorize Jews into a distinct race with prominent features and mock them.

That's something Herzl, the founder of political Zionism did.

Also, this same user voted for Trump. And, I know, as do others here, that Trump is a fervent Zionist and quite loved by the Likudniks in Israel. So, I find it quite odd that he voted for Trump but uses this sort of anti-Judaic rhetoric. I can only conclude he might be trying to ruin this place or scare Jews away—maybe even to Israel. Surely, the Likudniks want nothing more than for Jews to emigrate to Israel. The more come, the more settlements will be built, the less land for Palestinians.

Basically that post should have been monitored and if the poster kept on spewing fallacies, banned. If we are to follow the pyramid of debate accordingly.

This is not a free speech sub to spew fallacies, but this current block feature will only create more echo chambers which I despise.

I'd like to see another option when submitting a "report" on a user. A step more intense than just reporting on low tier content, a private "nomination to ban" that is not anonymous, but only between the user and the admin. When a user unnecessarily over-uses the admin can PM that person to cool it. Otherwise this might be useful in isolating trolls faster and more effectively. Or maybe the report already does that.
