Fixes #5455
Clarifies the example in the 'Removing relationships' section. The example was correct, but didn't explain why removing the post from
blog.Postsdeletes it, which is the confusion raised in the issue. Also adds a link to the 'Severing a relationship' section of the Cascade Delete page, which covers this case.Also removes a stray double space in one of the sentences above.
