The "community" isn't a monolith. There is no central node where you can just snub out anyone you choose because of some arbitrary mob consensus. I am also curious as to how you would define a "welcome" member of a community.

Communities like Twitter are largely amorphous and chaotic. Akin to a huge bazaar where everyone is being loud. How would one go about to blacklist people? That's McCarthyist bullshit. Mob mentality is far too dangerous to pull off idiotic stunts like informal global blacklists, although many try.

Seriously, weev? Who the hell praises and welcomes weev? Everyone knows he's a despicable asshole and a troll, but nonetheless his charges over the AT&T incident are still unjust and based on a highly vague and harmful piece of legislation: the CFAA. So it is perfectly legitimate to defend him on that.
