I cannot speak for the others, but I personally feel that the action you describe that you will do is probably more to what the others would feel is more appropriate to the situation (seeing for yourself first) before doing anything more severe about it.
I think it was really the reaction and response that some feel was unjustified and hence were more vocal.
Most just asked for the name and said they'll "blacklist", which can mean all sorts, but generally means completely ignore/squelch, etc. Which goes back to the reaction and response thing above. I'm pretty certain most is just misunderstanding.
