I suspect the care put into the message was more to ensure that this specific example would look reasonable on its own. When set in the context of the site it's posted on, and the other sites associated with the author (e.g. fsfesicherheit's other postings to HN), it looks more like a pattern of quite targeted harassment.
I personally have no skin in this game, but if the message was censored from the list I would give the listmasters the benefit of the doubt that this was due to the author of the e-mail rather than the content per se.

Deleting messages that express specifically anti-state views, where that state imposes racial apartheid, is explicitly pro-racist. This was the latter.
- s_dev 7y ago>(e.g. fsfesicherheit's other postings to HN) A single other submission (an article on the Berlin Wall) and two comments relating to said article consitutes a HN posting history? I'm not seeing anti-semitism here but I am seeing censorship.
- benjf 7y agoYou try to smear the author to avoid the real issues. If a Debian Developer or a member of any other voluntary non-profit group asks about governance standards, that is not what you call targeted harassment, that is simply being a good citizen. We need more people like this who speak truth to power.
