I agree that instabans should be used, but only in certain cases. I would be fine if someone talked about the terms casually, but not if it is used negatively. That's a very loose similarity, for one. And again, going back to what I said previously: They're stuck in a harmful frame of mind. If they're impervious to the very notion of change, so be it. But we should not up the ante just for their sake -- it's not in the cards. And I'm sorry if that's the case in their ideal world, but life isn't perfect like that (for them, anyway). We'll be taking two steps back for a completely hypothetical account.
