----------------------------------- The exceptions are not "human lives". They are "human discomfort". No one is dying. You have to have a rather thin skin, or very little real-world experience to be greatly annoyed at some vandal calling you a "slimy ass bitch" or whatever. It should be relatively apparent that our readers can read through vandalism. Are people going to complain? Sure they are.
That doesn't mean we need to alter any practice. Every large corporation gets complaints. K-mart probably gets five thousand a day. You deal with it. It happens. That doesn't mean you throw your hands in the air and rush about with no heads trying to prevent complaints.
You cannot prevent all complaints. You code for the 90% cases, and you leave the 10% cases alone.
