Although author Alan Moore is a loon, I enjoyed the Watchmen graphic novel, and the movie that was made from it.
This scene shows one way to react to riots. Warning: some language.

I miss the Comedian around here. He got banned a while ago, and I don’t even know why. I always enjoyed his posts.
I’ve never been zotted, so I don’t know how that works. I think it’s more of a “time out” in most cases. You can still ping “the comedian” or “pissant” for that matter. I just tried and the pings went through. So it would seem that either (1) the zots were not permanent, or (2) the zot works differently than I think it does or (3) the posters in question elected to stop posting.
