I didnt follow this thread and was just pointed to this but i dont think
harmfull commands should be posted and if they are really needed as an
argument it should be made more clear that they are harmfull and only
an example for an argument. maybe even with a intentional typo in it so
it wouldnt actually do harm

Its true noone should execute random commends without understanding them
but i think its not so uncommon that people do. And especially not as root.
But we should not have loaded guns laying around either just because noone
should be that dumb to pick one up point to someone and pull the trigger.

Thanks
