If a publicly issued posting has been deleted isn't that a public issue? Or
should we all pretend that nothing's happened and push such issues under the
carpet?

What you just suggested looks rather like denying Fernando (or any other member
of the forum) the right to react.  Even if we see the job of a moderator as
essentialy police work (cf. Bruce Moreland), the suspect (Fernando?) has the
right to make one phone call (his own reaction?), right?
