First of all, let me call you out on some mistakes in your post.
Only a half-dozen bullies? Go into the "Not By Works" thread, & do a recount. I think you'll find you left out a zero somewhere, LOL!
Then there's the 2... I think it might be 7-8.
Seriously, though, there's wolfpacks in here with over half a dozen members EACH. I can think of two of them right now.

I can see your point, but for the most part I don't think it is actually so. I suppose I am in one or more of the "wolf packs" you write about. But what is interesting is that I am best friends with some of the guys in the opposite wolf pack. Iron sharpens iron and debate and tough speaking is not necessarily bad . . . but I agree it should not get into name calling or saying the other person is "not saved", "going to hell" etc.
The "ignore" option. I use it for some of those pesky personal letters I get that want money or other favors . . .

It's written a few times where Jesus hid away from some people whose only intent was to destory Him.
At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
They got up, drove Jesus out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff. But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on his way.
So I think the ignore button is good. Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but I do hide myself away from a few people after attempts at reasoning with them have failed. If Jesus Himself didn't stand around contending with angry folks taking potshots at Him, I'm not contending with them either.
Although I will add, most folks here are extremely gracious and are able to reason with love and mercy. And it's with those same folks that I am also made aware when I am the one in the wrong and can learn and grow from them.
But for the very few who will not reason, I thank CC for providing the ignore button. Bless God! \/

They won't let such an idea happen even if the software allowed it.
The reason? We would be able to "wall out" certain hateful members we obviously can't stand, & leave them ranting in silence.
They don't want that to happen, because then we could cut off half the poison coming through the site all by ourselves, without Admin interaction.
Nice thought, though.

In fact they changed chat room monitoring to no longer require mods to kick people. They did the very thing you said they wouldn't want to do. Hmm...
