Aren't you therefore guilty of the same offensive violation? Gratuitous mentioning does imply that there is a context, and the context is something that would/should/could become offensive. *shrug* Seems odd. Humor is good occasionally. Oblique and non-meritorious censorship, however, is not. Bear in mind, I apparantly haven't paid attention or noticed any of his past behavior that may have warranted this. But it seems equally counter-productive to the operation of the list for what he did as what you did in order to let him know that.
I doubt very much that Susan is actually writing these messages.

Because of your non-operational post below, and your gratuitous mention of Hitler, which could be offensive to some, we have removed your posting privileges from the NANOG list for a period of four months.
