One size fits all descriptions let a lot of people through the
cracks. Some, but not all may be dweebs. For the other OSFA
description, take SMS for example. He certainly uses KFs to "avoid
people vexatious to the spirit", but "wisdom" is hardly the reason
why he uses them.
In this, I agree with Annika (ouch!). If he used killfiles he'd
think of himself as a dweeb. Whether true or not, I take him at his
word that that's how he'd feel. Maybe it would be better said that
if he used killfiles he wouldn't respect himself in the morning.
