I think the "don't say anything" route isn't always adequate. It seems tailor made for the situation where 1) everyone understands that the statements are delusional, and the statements are such or are made in a manner that they can be mostly ignored; 2) no one is being hurt or targeted by the statements, and 3) the statements themselves or their manner of being posted have not already stirred things up.
If the "don't say anything" route is to work, I think the moderator maybe has to be willing and ready to intervene when conditions 1, 2 & 3 above start to surface.
