"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."
Yes, one time he thought he magically had the power to remove his posts here. He obviously at that time was not aware that all members here have the delete feature because at PP at that time members did not have that option so he assumed so was the case here and told me about it gleefully one day that he magically (via a gazing technique) got the delete feature active here and deleted his posts. It was little boo boos like this that slowly helped me to wake up to who I was dealing with.
He can say I made this story up...but can you really make something this ridiculous up? Please, I'm not that creative, lol.
This is not a put down to Lujan BTW (PPers) just showing he's human like everyone else. He tries too hard to be above us all. We all try to put our best face forward, hate to lose face, lol. Hate to feel foolish. But its worse to think we are "so special", that's a prison hard to get out of. As his students you should be helping him learn humility, not feeding his sense of importance.
on to other things...
This forum, always having had the edit and delete feature, kudos for that. It just makes the task for the moderators more challenging, so kudos to them. I know if it ever gets really out of hand, restrictions will be necessary to keep the better members, I just hope that never happens, but would fault the immature ones for making this happen. Because they really have no regard for the forum, and there are people here who do and appreciate this place as a place to communicate respectably. Not having to agree with one another, but just respect the communication process.
