It just feels to me that any sort of enforcement amounts to telling the users to ignore each other, but if the users were capable of simply ignoring each other, then ... it wouldn't have escalated to banning in the first place, y'know?

Also, if I'm being frank, I do not believe that a user should be able to post on a topic and prevent even indirect interaction from people who disagree with them. For example, I am banned by velacron. If velacron posts some shit about Kyle Rittenhouse being totally justified in crossing state lines and killing people, I am not going to ignore that, and I do not want to be sanctioned by mods for informing other users of the extent of velacron's extremism.
