IMO, removing a post, only to repost it in the "Dead Zone," confers on it special status. If anything, more people are drawn to the post by nature of its extra visibility in a category all its own.
I'd rather see posts that go beyond the bounds of civil discourse deleted. That way, the posters get neither attention nor satisfaction (which is usually what they were after to begin with). The posters are of course then free to rephrase and repost using acceptable language. As it now stands, they needn't bother.
