This is unfortunate, but in combatting a problem we have to make sure we
don't introduce a worse one.
Consider a vaguely similar situation on en: at least one American user I
know of has left (at least temporarily) after some non-Americans made
particularly vociferous anti-American comments, along the lines of
"Americans are bigoted idiots who voted in a fascist president and don't
know anything about world affairs" (paraphrase). Should we ban people
for making such comments? I think they should be discouraged, and
people should be banned if they're being disruptive (e.g. going around
specifically to make offensive comments), but being too ban-happy is
problematic also.
