How should we react to posts?

Here is a post by a student who doesn't understand the purpose of FIRST. As a community how should we react to this post?

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=102609

I understand the immediate reaction is to go on the attack and slam him but what purpose does that serve? Sure maybe he deserves it but wouldn't it be better to just have a mod delete the thread and send the offender a note explaining why his actions are inappropriate and maybe help him learn something?

Who knows, with a little coaching maybe he could become a valuable member of the community. Lets face it, there's almost zero chance of that happening now.

I must say Cory that your comments when closing the thread are absolutely inappropriate. You are basically saying OK boys lets get this guy. I think you deserve as many red dots for that comment as the OP.
