Moderation should be up to the moderators. If (for instance) a single infraction arises, a good procedure would be to remove the post and send email to all the parties involved (the OP and the complainers via BCC). But if there is a long thread that would require dozens of emails and a ton of effort, I think that vaporization without a trace is the only sensible answer. There is always r.g.c.c and CTF for off the wall insanity.
