I'm against changing anything. Just let it stand. It's part of our history. Just about every long lived online community has a pseudicide at some point, and a few instances of trolls being pushed away.
Let it Stand As Set.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Not removing the entries means less work for me, and as you know, Bob, I'm in favor of most activities that require me to do nothing.

Anything for a weird life.
Pardon my ignorance, but what's all the hubbub about? I don't want to Natter in an unNattery thread, so just point me toward where drama apparently went down.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm with Hec. No changes necessary.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm seriously against any asterisks, stompy tags, or messing with the actual post record. The FAQ, otoh, is an excellent plan.

Trust my rage
Thomas, the drama was on New Year's Eve, 2006 in Bureau, I think. But there have been some recent press mentions that have mostly been discussed in Natter over the last month, maybe.

I'm against revisionist history in principle - I'd say leave the quotes and the attribution as they stand.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I also oppose revising the facts -- what happened, happened, and I don't want to pretend it didn't. Adding an FAQ works for me.

I'd just as soon skip the FAQ myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Me too.
