Perhaps some folks would rather be explicitely controlled than to be scolded. I
think it is partially a psychological expression. One the one hand "we don't put
up with this here and we do whatever is necessary *immediately* to modify
incorrect behaviour" vs "we point it out to you, twist your arm a bit, and try
to get you to see the light and do it our way". I have no opinion about which is
better or worse, just that some folks will react more positively to one and some
to the other approach. It may be a D'ed if you do and D'ed if you don't kind of
situation.

If you end up doing that, please provide a back link to a copy of the original
unmodified post. My thought here is that it would provide a modicum of
free-speech while allowing the more visible post to conform to the standards-of
decency that are being dissiminated by the admins.
