7/31 [ no, see, you need to restore the entire thread. ]
\_ Grow up you self-righteous little worm and stop seeing so called
censorship everywhere. It was a partial restore because that was
what was easily extractable from the logs. If you want to do
better, then restore everything yourself. It was clear this was
not an ideologically driven edit.
\_ I don't care whether it was ideologically driven, petty, or
another kind of edit. Whenever it happens, surrounding context
will get nuked. End of story. Don't edit other people's shit.
\_ Yep, temper tantrum.
\_ Hey little worm, do you understand this is not a matter of
any "editing"...it's a matter of a best effort *restore*.
You are punishing the wrong person. It probably isn't worth
my time to catch you doing this, but let's not beat around
the bush and pretend there is some principle in what you
are doing.
\_ No, *this* is the temper tantrum.
\_ No, this is aggrivation.
\_ And this is bad spelling.
\_ Shrug. Not my thread, not my posts. I just restored as a public
service. Why don't you restore what I missed, if it means so
much to you? Don't know how to run rcs, do you?
\_ Nuking all discussion as a response to partial deletes is much
more effective than restores.
\_ great, now we have an effective way to get rid of trolls
\_ Gee, and I thought you were just a child throwing a temper
tantrum.
\_ Nuking all discussion as a response to anything is stupid.
Restoring the damaged thread to an undamaged state immediately
and without comment is the best way to fight childish partial
deletes and the typical not-at-all-funny edits on the motd.
\_ Not all discussion, just the thread in question. The
reasoning goes like this: any edit (except accidental ones)
whether ideological, joke, etc entails a lack of respect
for what the (edited) person had to say. Why should that
person be singled out for said lack of respect? Let's
apply it uniformly. The environment we are shooting for is
"edit someone's post -> no one gets to have any more fun."
\_ You need to make a distinction between ideological
edits and partial restores because a thread was
"damaged" ... partial edits, then added to, then
partial restores etc ... which someone tries to
unideologically restore the bulk of rather than
leaving it truncated.
\_ I appreciate the attempt at public service, but
frankly, if you are just restoring a truncated
version then don't bother. It has the same effect
as just leaving partial edits be. I am not going to
let partial edits be. |
