Its not possible to fix social problems with technology.
Gentoo society is a microcosm of the world.

When it becomes commonplace to do this sort of thing,
all the jails in the world will be empty.

Give the abusers a hug, maybe even talk to them using 
a voice/video channel.  Find out the real problem.  
A lot is lost in the written word.

Excluding people doesn't work either. Look at all the 
repeat offenders in the worlds jails.
