A lot of examples have been pointed out in this thread for recent cases. You can google for the older ones.

I'm merely trying to shape the traffic on this list in a way that creates the community we want to have (as described in another email I just sent, so I won't go into that further). In some cases, no amount of diplomacy, tolerance, or empathy will help. I believe this is one of them. I can respect that you don't appreciate my suggested method, but I don't think that having a community that we can participate in and enjoy is a ridiculous crusade.

Go back in the mailing list archives and see how much Ilias can destabilize this list if you don't believe me or in my methods. Comp.lang.lisp demonstrated that shunning Ilias worked for them. If you don't approve of shunning, suggest something better and show that it works.
