Don't respond to "inappropriate" postings on the newsgroup. Create a kill-file if your provider has capability (unfortunately, mine does not.) If you absolutely, positively must respond, take it to e-mail. If it is offensive to you, send an e-mail complaint to the postmaster or webmaster or whatever they are called for the access provider. Ignoring it means there will only be one post & not many follow-ups. Unfortunately, ignoring is sometimes difficult especially for those of us, like me, who are a little - er - a lot - smart alecky. If your newgroup has an FAQ, add this topic. See the rec.autos FAQ for an example. Please forgive me for cross-posting to all the groups originally inundated with the WACKY KIDS posts. I read several of the cross-posted groups & so I've seen this post several times.
