If you take off "The Asshole writes:" and replace it with the >>real writer's name, it's completely fine.

I would appreciate such post being >deleted imediately and showing the author the "yellow card" (2 yellow cards >meaning a "red card" = leave the game). I think neither of the above. I think that the writer will be displeased that the post disappeared. I think that the writer will have constructive criticism of their intended post. I think that the writer will then choose whether to participate in a more acceptable manner or not participate at all. By imploring someone to post in an acceptable manner we force them to take responsibility for their message content. Dave Gomboc
