If you have a commons and one of the users of the commons is peeing all
over the grass so that the sheep won't eat, do you continue to allow that

If you don't they're not "commons" anymore. Perhaps the commons are
improved if the sheep don't eat the grass and peeing on it is the easiest way
to ensure the well-being of the commons. Regardless, this is a piss-poor
analogy. The posts in question did not amount to some kind of denial
of service attack in the way that peeing on grass resulted in the sheep
refusing to eat. And just who are the sheep here anyway? What's up with
this chattel arrangement?
