I don't see why editing it would make a difference in the UK. Putting
it on the Web is publishing it whether or not it is edited.

Removing the posts in question would be a simple solution, but does
raise other problems. For example other people's replies or responses
could become misrepresented as they become out of context. Perhaps
simply editing out the identity of the person in question replacing it
with a string indicating that the identity has been removed may
suffice?
