Currently fatpeoplehate is banned, but what if someday there's an "up in arms" issue between (as only an example) the atheist and religious subreddits.
If they both are brigading and harassing each other, they'll both be banned.

FPH was banned because the mods broke one of reddit's only 5 rules about not posting personal information (they stalked a victim's employee page and took their details and photos and put them in the sidebar), and for brigading suicidewatch trying to get people to kill themselves.
These have been against the rules on reddit since forever, because of the dangerous stalky people on the Internet, who made them necessary, long before Pao was involved.

I'd just like to see better tools in place to allow people to handle this themselves. For example, let me make the personal decision that I self-ignore everything from any person who subscribes to /r/fatpeoplehate.
I doubt there's REALLY a fool-proof solution to handle all harassment. I just think things have been too aggressive.
