Okay, 'permissible' was perhaps the wrong word to use, 'possible' was probably more appropriate, but I really do not understand this language of "reporting" and "going to the ANI". If I got into an argument with one of these men it is the last thing I would do.

Posting something like the compulsory sterilization article on a website would get you jailed in the UK under hate speech law (example: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/facebook-troll-jailed-after-targeting-901896 ).

I wouldn't take on one of these men on a talk page or anywhere else. I wouldn't try to sit around and have a reasonable discussion with anyone who mugged me either.

"I entered "Wikipedia" and "male rights activists" and got this http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/fighting-wikipedia-corruption-censorship/ which has a comments section at the bottom with current Wikipedia members mentioning other Wikipedia editors by name and talk of a great conspiracy at work against them, if Sarah was suspended for her off-site comments then how is this permissible?"

I don't think it's fair to assume that it's /permissible/.  Perhaps it just hasn't yet been brought to anyone's attention, or perhaps it's impossible to determine which Wikipedia editors are writing these things.
