What would be wrong with someone 'fixing' a post? Couldn't that include an apology?
Hiding a questionable post is possibly less of a deterrent to than having it under open discussion.
My interest is not only in giving the poster a chance to appeal or re-state the issue, it is also to give the membership an opportunity to study borderline situations where someone is offended and the jury thinks it that the 'offense' itself deserves discussion.
