I'm really not sure bans or infractions are the way to go tbh. Because two people can do exactly the same thing and that lead to entirely different responses. One may end up getting an infraction and then the other should also get an infraction but maybe doesn't really deserve it.
How do you actually measure what it is that is wrong here? Is it a personal attack? Well, if we can't all tell each other to fuck off, then really it takes something away from us as a group I feel. Is it a style of argument? Well, again, some people use a style and I find it abrasive and unpleasant, whilst others can say exactly the same thing and somehow it doesn't have the same sting.
I don't think my reading of the situation has anything to do with sharing Redux's political views at all. I just think it is unfair to single him out. I also don;t think it's fair to single Classic out. I don't think he does anything particularly wrong. If you actually look at any one of these discussions it is really very difficult to say who is in th wrong ( in terms of style not substance). But I find Merc's particular manner of arguing in political matters very annoying and offputting. There are others (I am not going to start naming names, lets not add to this any further ;p) who have the opposite political views to Merc that I find equally annoying and frustrating.
