I can almost imagine wishing that Sisyphean suffering on him (and his immediate family). But, really I can not. Even him. Maybe, we could let MBS use his imagination....

Why don't they just go ahead, apply Rule 34 of the Internet and ban everything.
I always told my grad students to make things "simple enough that even a PhD could use it."
Does that work for you?
