I imagine that they expect us not to vandalise their board in much the same way that a graffitist does not expect the local authorities to retaliate by demolishing his home.

John Cheese's "nice" request was:
"    * Delete I'm 1/2 of the PWoT writing team. I'd rather brush my teeth with a wood-file than have a PWoT entry on this site. "Deserve" to be on Wikipedia? Please, for the love of God, delete this retarded entry before I vomit blood. -John Cheese"

He has acknowledged that it was not the nicest phrasing but he mistook some of the terse or intemperate phrasing by other editors to indicate that robust language was normal here. In my opinion, his post was nicer than some purportedly wikipedian posts on his website and way nicer than the normal tone of his members on that website.
