I honestly thought **ZPG\_Zealot** was a troll doing an extended riff on the “elderly woman” in _Blazing Saddles_ when she described how she would [hurl racial slurs at people of color](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/white-people-your-use-of-the-n-word/920043/152) for “hitting on” her (which, from what I can gather, might have consisted of conduct as innocent as offering a handshake).

An excellent call by the mods to finally ban her.
