Frame-ups are as old as time. The ones that work the best are those
that are the most believable. O.J., for example. Unless Alice is
unusually flaky or paranoid, she'll consider her options against the
time she has invested in Bob.

Here's an interesting twist of Sandfort's moderation policy.
My article was crypto-relevant and flame-free and was tossed to
cypherpunks-flames.
Igor's response to my article was also crypto-relevant and flame-free
and was tossed to cypherpunks-flames.
Dale's response did not quote me, so it made it to the censored list.
