I read once an article showing that to avoid proliferation of annoying 
messages, the best action was to ignore them.
Banning people just makes them want to fight harder against the 
perceived injustice.

When new (non-constructive) "fuck systemd" messages come to this mailing 
list, I will do as for all the previous ones, ignore & archive.
Et voilà.

PS : Kudos to ayone able to find a link to the aforementioned article.
I cannot lay my hand on it.
