Obvious that she was unable to post, yes.  This however is not "blocking",
this is sending mail from an unsubscribed email address.   Continuing a
false narrative doesn't make it any more true!

Again, this is not "blocking", but using the wrong email address to try to
post.

I don't either.  Aliases are common online.  I myself use one, as "McTim"
is not the name on my Birth Certificate.  However, "lerato mamboleo" is not
an "alias", but a sockpuppet, there is a difference!
