---------------------
That's a bit poetic, so I'm sure you mean it a bit  tongue-in-cheek.
We should employ common sense when citing policy/guidelines as our  reasoning 
behind some action.
In general mass-deletions might invoke DICK against you.
It's a fine-line.  I'm certainly fine with the original poster  deleting *a* 
source and posting to the talk page the reason why.  But if  they go on a 
rampage with a meat cleaver in a cowshed they are asking for  trouble.
