The point is, this is written in way that hardly anyone, even native
germans, would bother to read it, so I'm not 100% convinced someone would
deliberately set this up for a broad audience to take notice of this
content in that way.
Hasn't there been a thread lately about tor mixing up pages or something like that? Maybe that's the case here too. Can you reproduce your findings?
     I thought about that, but unfortunately no, because I don't have a tor
controller, so I have no way to choose the path.  I suppose maybe I could
force all connections to go through that node by using "StrictExitNodes 1"
and "ExitNodes tortila", though, so maybe I'll give that a shot at some point.
However, it may not tell me anything by now because the culprit, having read
my complaint on OR-TALK, may have stopped doing it until the heat blows over.
If you have a method that's easier to use and not so ham-handed as putting
stuff into torrc, perhaps you could try it and report your results back here.
     Thanks much!

Just a thought...

If any one was looking of the exit node that re-directs to porn sites, on some searches (I used webcrawler with search terms "Israel murder rape xxx" after I was given a name to look for, I got re-directed to an IP addy porn page (think it was pedo - I quickly closed the page before any images came up). Then I tried with the word "mystery" (via the same node), it came up regular no re-direct, so I put the some of the original search terms in again ("Israel rape murder") and again go the same porn re-diect ip addy.

This exit node was using the name "UnNamed", it was from Bochem (or was that Bochim??) Germany and kept changing its IP addy. I did have its full hash id but that was on of those lines that was deleted from my torrc file.

All those "UnNamed" nodes out there are creating hell when it comes to locating them so as to exclude them.
