You seem too obsessed, from my point of view.

Put the person's address in your email filter and you no longer have to
read any of his signatures. Problem solved.

Making such a fuss about a signature and giving that person such an
attention is counter-productive in this case. That's probably exactly what
that person wanted in the first place. Just ignoring such statements is
far more powerful. In an open community, there will always be good guys
and bad guys.

Censorship is not the right way. The next person is maybe offended by some
of your statements or opinions expressed on this list and is going to ask
the openSUSE board to take action against you. Where does it start and
where will it end? If I had complained about all the silly signatures I've
seen on various mailing lists over the last 15 years, I would have been
very very busy indeed...

Calm down and keep cool, that's my personal recommendation.
