I agree that these folks have a special place in hell, but I also know that I do *not* have the authority to destine them to that hell. So I'm loathe to add any kind of "report" option to NostrGram. I would rather have users (such as yourself) call out the scum and/or block them. That's market dynamics at work. Is it perfect? No. But it's far better than censorship imo, however well-meaning.
I once read that the First Amendment was meant to protect the speech of the people you most disagree with (and most disdain). Freedom of speech is so important that even the evil voices shouldn't be censored (though they can -- and *should* -- be called out for what they are).
Also, censoring evil voices instead of calling them out doesn't destroy the thoughts. In fact, it lends them legitimacy ("Why are they trying to suppresses me?") On the other hand, calling out the evil publicly and with reason and rationality helps others see why the thinking is evil and destructive.
