People like JLB, Lawson, and Turk Albert annoy the hell out of me because they present a (ridiculous) one-sided issue and then refuse to look at anyone elses point of view.

That's not stirring things up or presenting controversy, it's being a dickhead.
If they wanted to create controversy they would post something then refute people's posts instead of criticizing the character of the poster.

*Attack the post, not the poster*

When you just sit there and say, 'this is my view and i'm right and you're a dickhead', then you should be given the boot because you're not adding anything except aggravation to the other forum members.

The easy solution, of course, is for everyone to put those who annoy them on their 'block' list and then, theoretically, that person ceases to exist on the forum.

On another note, when I look at users such as Lawson or Turk Albert, I have to wonder if they are not simply a persoa created by some bored loser who gets their rocks off by annoying the shit out of people and being stupid.
I think this because the attitude (Turk Albert) or the posting material (Lawson) that is used is so ridiculously overblown, biased, misinformed, ill-informed, or just plain stupid that I have to think could any person in the real world honestly be that crap?
