I agree. Sometimes a solution doesn't automatically pop up. After discussion and thought I came up with what I think is a good solution but I didn't think of it right away. Thats why discussion is good to help solve disputes. This type of forum is thread based. A thread is written conversation with a topic. Threads that generate into other random directions usually end with a question mark. Threads that start and have good momentum and have some meaningful conversation will be missed when the original thread starter poster who goes back and edits his post blank thus ruining it for all. If a poster wants his post removed we will remove it but leave a note. The problem is often the original post being removed leaving the thread hanging.
Lujan did the same thing when he was here, he began removing all his posts believing they were "his property" which is not true. Posts made in open forums are public posts and no ownership rights exist. I have received pm's from members advising they do not like negative posters and left this community because they were attacked or provoked by other members. The members who have traditionally come here are those who seek positive experiences and meaningful conversations, thus I/we try and keep that feeling in the forums.
