I have the ultimate solution friends... I'm not kidding. Check it homies:
Leave AO as it is - religious threads, political threads, bunny fur, all of it. Two rules: no Apple-related commentary, no personal attacks. One warning, that's it.
Ban the user account on second offense. Sure, they could go to the trouble of getting a new email account and registering under a new name, but what a pain in the ass in the long run for the loser who can't control their emotions.
Add a new forum called "Napalm" - this forum has only one purpose and one rule: flame the crap out of whoever pisses you off, and no libel / slander, which would by definition require the use of a person's full, real name.
If your AI handle is your real name, submit a new one to the admin -- I believe handles can be changed from the Admin CP. And naturally, the standards for proving libel and slander are much higher for the likes of Kobe Bryant and George Bush (hint, hint).
No, because if someone makes a hilarious slam comment and other people laugh and say "good work!" that would qualify as "being nice". However, any feel-good theads will be locked instantaneously.

Besides, venting is healthy.
