While I'm sure your purpose is noble, every sword has two edges.
What some view as a being polite and troll free, others may
view as discriminatory, exclusionary, and pro-censorship.  You
can't have both.  If someone has the right to ban you from speaking
freely, should they have ever been granted the right to converse
with you in the first place?  Birds of a feather flock together ...
Over time exclusionary environments shift toward the majority belief
of those in control and discriminate against the minority.  This
problem affects all forums with logins and walled-off fiefdoms
like Facebook.  Freedom is founded upon dissenting voices,
openness, optional anonymity, and a willingness to listen others
out of respect.  Many of the world's most brilliant minds have
said and done things which are or once were hated.
