@silentshot: Used to mod for a video game company, so I can tell you that such a suggestion would never work. It kills the point of HAVING a comment thread at all.
Redundancy is annoying as hell, trust me, I know. But people are entitled to it. The only time it doesn't fly is if it was for obvious trolling purposes. Otherwise, this is not something a mod/admin should concern themselves with.
Readers can only do one thing: Not get involved in that A-B conversation. Maybe they become lifelong enemies over it or maybe this how they become friends. Humans are weird like that. But it's in nobody's power or authority to not repeat something on a public forum.
That's the reality of the situation. You can have that opinion of a banhammer landing on such comments, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one that enforces such a tight-fisted rule.
