David's has the advantage of shock value, which commands attention.
However, as a moderator of this mailing list - indeed, probably the most prominent such - it is imperative that David hold himself to the highest standards of behaviour lest the membership of the list at large believe that it is appropriate to make such comments.
Under the circumstances it was not inappropriate, IMO. I think most of the other list mods share my apathy w.r.t this incident. People who are obviously trolling do not deserve any more than what David gave them; it may not have been the best course of action (I personally would not have done that), but it was far from the worst.
