I respectfully disagree with you, Franz. We can implicitly trust these people
running board who were elected by us to be more worthy of our trust than an
unknown poster.
I also think that a (frequent)disclosure of interdiction methodology could only
be exploited advantageously by the racist poster on his next attempt, making the
moderator's job unecessarily difficult.
I understand your sensitivity to the ideas of americans discerning what is an
appropriate last name for any other national. The racist imposter also purported
to be an american, however. So we can judge the norms of our own nation, I hope.
