I suspect that people who actively use "killfiles" are actually too weak to

As for me you are partially correct. My reason for killfiling people
is usually not that I don't want to read their posts but that I don't
want to reply to their posts. I admit that I have no self-control.

....even if I *were* to use a "killfile", why would I need/want to
broadcast that particular information to everyone?

I don't. I'm a silent killfiler as I don't believe in the grand
announcement. I did however start a thread yesterday to a certain
person and explained that I have that person killfiled. I also
admitted that this was rather a CS move on my part. Shrug.
Your post is really good. Enjoyable reading. I'm not going to tell
you if I'm going to killfile you, though. G

rest of good post snipped

And it is perfectly understandable to some, that you took the action of which
you speak.
