Anyway, this will solve the problem of Marty's name being associated with trolling in the past.
2) Remove the filter on Marty's last name, and allowing it to be posted in this thread.
3) Evaluating future threads whether Marty's last name should be posted, and manually censoring it if it's just being done to screw with him. So if people are just gratuitously throwing in his last name while trolling him, I will remove it. If they post his full name in a thread like this one, I'll let it stand.
I do have to admit that I see it to be unfair that Robert Pickering's name can be posted here, yet Marty's can't.
