Well, Z_n does post shitloads of links. Some of them, and lately, most
of them, are vile shit. But it's my working hypothesis that Z_n is
merely a typical shit-posting troll. Who crawled forth from one of the
chans, or whatever. His goal is simply to upset people.

So, as with any troll, it's best to ignore him. Rather than call for
moderation, why not just filter his messages? I would never have seen
this, except that Ceci redacted his name. So why should I care what Z_n
or other trolls write to this list? I can't control their speech, and I
believe that attempting it would be immoral.
