8/20 Stop selectively deleting from the motd. Kill the whole thread or
leave it alone. Thank you.
\_ Purging a serious thread from unfunny smart alec comments
is not unreasonable. These are politically neutral deletions.
\_ What you thought was smart alec were some serious replies.
We don't need mommy here to keep us safe from unfunny
people.
\_ I reiterate that whenever I catch people doing it, I
nuke everything up to most recent deletion. I don't care
if your motivation is politics, personal animosity,
phlegm-filled lungs, or whatever. You are still an asshole,
and I will make the motd useless to you in retaliation.

\_ I agree with you in principle, but continue to
claim that from a purely tactical point of view
selective deletion of tech threads, particularly
unix threads, constitutes a more directed retaliation
against the fuckers.
\_ You are the jackass doing the selective deleting my refusing
to use motdedit and you don't even realize it. Schmuck.
\_ Whoever is refusing to use motdedit often deletes individual replies
as a consequence of it. Do not assume that it is malicious.
\_ motdedit users are probably in the minority. |
