OK, I see.

Just for the sake of the argument, you also cannot remove a normal file if you don't have write permissions to the directory it's in.

]==> mkdir test
]==> touch test/asdf
]==> chmod 500 test
]==> rm test/asdf 
rm: cannot remove ‘test/asdf’: Permission denied
]==> echo "asdf" > test/asdf
]==> cat test/asdf 
asdf

You'll obviously do whatever you want. I am just a consistency zealot :)
