"In the interest of playing to Joe Offer's sense of fairness, Would all of those who replied to Martin's baiting and abuse please consent to having their replies deleted?"

That is stupid.

Martin did not "bait" anyone in this thread. He gave his opinion and shared his opinion just like Harry Taylor did. Both were equally colorful and to the point. Why is it right to allow one person to speak their mind and not the other?   That isn't my version of this country.
