You are asking John to do something that is clearly unwise for him to do in a form typically used with the connotation that if the person does not comply it is because they can not. This is disingenuous.
If John wants a problem to stop, it would be nice to first identify more clearly the source of the problem. Otherwise he’s just doing the LW analogue of vaguebooking.
It’s not obvious to me that “the source of the problem” and “the people most saliently exhibiting the symptoms” are the same thing. It’s also not obvious to me that “the source of the problem” necessarily refers to any particular set of individuals.
On the basis of this comment, I have recognized this user as a possible troll and may delete comments from them (downvoted or otherwise) which seem to be attention-seeking.

Good point, though he might reply to him in a private message.

Hahahahahahaha. I’m going to get negative points for this, but it’s worth it to me. I so enjoy pointing out Karma. I love the irony.

I should point out that I obviously have that problem as well, given this response.
