On the Ubuntu forums they have a policy against posting destructive 
command lines.  First offense get a post deleted with a warning to the 
author; second offense bans the author.

This is done to protect newcomers, to ensure that the Ubuntu forums are 
a safe place for people to get support.

I appreciate the good humor here and that you intentionally wrote it 
with a syntax error to prevent execution.

Just the same, this seems a good opportunity to offer a gentle reminder 
that we have members here with a wide range of experience, and we want 
this to be a safe and friendly place for all of them to get help.
