If you want to make an analogy you shouldn't cherry pick part of the situation and ignore how awful it would look in the complete picture. First of all these kind of requests were made to you to. They are requests from people who have killfiled Nikos but still are confronted with him because of those who reply to him. So if I am an assaulter then so are you in the context of this analogy. And what kind of solution is the killfile in this analogy?

Normal python exchanges will be done with the other. You can then simply
killfile my identity that engages with Nikos.
"Please don't assault people in the street."

"How about a compromise? I'll continue assaulting people in the street, 
but I'll wear a yellow hat when I do so. Then, if you don't want to see 
me assaulting people, whenever you see me wearing a yellow hat, just turn 
away."

Let me know what you think about this.
Sure, no problem.

*plonk*
Fine you give me an opportunity to point out the problems in your
thinking without giving yourself the opportunity to respond. I
can live with that.
