Just my $.02 -- if you block hushmail and other such accounts, you'll
just see an upswing in trolls from other free email service providers.
Including gmail.
(Let's please not contribute to the conflation of the word "hacking"
with malicious acts of any kind. Altering a wiki page, in particular,
doesn't bear much relationship to exploiting technology in novel ways,
which is what I'd more define as "hacking".)
