In any event, anonymous posting of personal attacks ought to regarded as a nearly-automatic cause for node deletion
Isn't that rule in the same category as all other "absolute" rules which are to be applied automatically? I'd say there is nothing wrong with the system for deletion of nodes.

We all have to take any decisions we make on our own conscience. Some people's conscience may be "wider" or more "flexible" than other's, but in the end it is a decision to be taken by each monk himself. Some of these decisions may please us, other do not. That's life. In that way our Monastery is nothing different from the "real" world.
