[puts fingers in ears and starts singing “la la la la la”]¹

One of the problems with this kind of denial is that typically our imaginations---already evidently primed to assume the worst---are capable of coming up with something far worse than reality itself. This seems to be an example of that.

You're sure you don't want to rot-13 that?

Yes. See above and below. There isn't anything that needs to be rot13'd here. Mind you if there was something that needed redaction then I would question your decision to apply thread necromancy to it. A comment from 2010 is a whole lot more obscure than a comment with a child comment singing lalas.

(EDIT: Actually, I already know ways to break out of a electronically enforced moratorium if I really need to, but still.)

The grandparent provides instructions on how to impose a moratorium of the kind discussed in its parent. It doesn't describe how to break out of electronically enforced moratoriums. In fact the instructions for creating the limitation cannot even be (mis)used to reverse engineer a way out of a correctly applied 'leechblock' moratorium. (That would require actual research and effort.)

i.e. I blurred my sight and hit the down arrow until the vote/parent/reply/permalink buttons were at the top of the window.

And somehow still believed you would be able to respond intelligently to the comment that you didn't read. Oops.
