Sure, see the USING clause in DELETE. Although your example seems a
bit confused, since you're not actually referring to _author_ip anywhere.
And if you meant "_author_ip" where you wrote "u._author_ip", that's in
a sub-SELECT, where you could just add a join to words_users without
needing any nonstandard DELETE syntax.
