Raising the bar for being barred

Your suggestions as to who should be banned from The Stack have allowed you to release your deepest loathing, though if we agreed to every request, there would be no one left to buy the beer.
First, Rob Hall at Northallerton College has the idea that: “You should bar anyone British who insists on pronouncing data ‘datta’ in that ghastly across-the-pond manner. And a router is not a ‘rowder’.” Agreed. You’re barred.
“Can I be the first to nominate Microsoft?” asks Phil Smart at Datacare Software. That’s fine Phil, but takings won’t drop because they don’t finish work until after last orders. But we’re unable to grant the request of James Prior at Komfort Workspace: “Surely we have to bar users from The Stack? Otherwise we might as well be at work.”
We think there’s a law against that, but we could give them their own bar. We’ll bar more people next week, because as any landlord will tell you, it’s really good fun.
