I passionately hate the concept of node administration. Nodes aren't
cars, they don't require oil changes every 3,000 requests.

(In this case, the attacker is someone who refuses to distribute
certain keys.)

Now be serious. Can you really imagine these responsible censors
constantly hovering over the delete key armed with a big book of
prohibited keys, occasionally vaporizing an unwanted invader?

Right, I can't either. That's an absurd idea. Here in the real
world, someone would add a couple hundred lines of code to Fred, in
order to refuse any requests for specified keys.

And guess what? Nothing you or I do will stop them. So get over it!
