You keep saying “song or people”, Jim, but you forget that there are people on both sides of the argument here. That dog won’t hunt.
It isn’t even necessarily about assholes or trolls either, Mike; by having a “strike list” you’ll inevitably get people who want to use it for purposes they see as legitimate, but that are somehow incongruent with whatever goal you lay out to begin with. How long is a song banned for? Is it forever, or just a given cruise? Is it okay to perform song X once the people who complained about if have gone to bed? Etc.
The larger issue is still a concern: people who push back over what we see as overreaction to “triggering” songs are still being painted in this thread as insensitive. It’s a very effective rhetorical trick, but it’s also logically invalid and intellectually dishonest.
