Comment:

 After some discussion it was pointed out to me that defaulting to
 "Attribute all posts and links to:" and not selecting the correct user
 would cause some user experience issues as well. ie. potentially assigning
 many posts to a user that should not have access to edit or even view
 certain posts.

 Perhaps a better option would be to not have either option selected by
 default so if a user did click "confirm deletion" they would be prompted
 to choose an option. Then a second confirmation if the users selects to
 delete all posts with a message that says "clicking ok will permanently
 delete all posts for this user, are you sure you want to delete?"
