143. You did say you wished you had saved them no? That would imply that you wanted to overcome

the person's desire not to have them visible. Being that you have an excellent memory, why would have wanted to save them? So naturally I assumed you had changed your mind about a person's right to delete their own posts in order not to have them visible to the forum in general. Saving other people's posts seems a bit creepy to me, frankly. What would be the purpose of that other than to use them against the person you are disagreeing with.

Of course I remember, I imagine, being that there was so much deleted, it was a rather memorable DU event.

Yes, some things do stick in the collective memory of a forum like this. But as I said, if someone feels the need to delete their posts, I agree, can't see any reason for others to try to thwart that as you stated you wish you had done.

So you're back to saying that the Charlie Hemdo victims deserved to be shot. (12 killed, but only 3 geek tragedy Jan 2015 #12

Oh Hell no, none of them deserved to die. This was unjustified brutality. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #16

then why the "three innocent victims" comment about Wednesday. 12 people were murdered. geek tragedy Jan 2015 #18

This was a horrible murderous act, none of the 12 victims deserved to be killed, much less harmed. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #20

Kind of interesting how you didn't answer the question. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2015 #51

Right, thank you! NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #42

Were all 12 innocent? trumad Jan 2015 #43

Innocent of what? NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #152

Are rape victims who dress too sexy innocent or just victims? joeglow3 Jan 2015 #79

All rape victims are innocent regardless of their attire, or lack of it. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #98

Who is 'they', and could you post something to back up that claim, which appears to be sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #74

The poster is attempting to see just how vile Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #77

Yup. And he's got his little defenders trying to tell us what he really meant... SidDithers Jan 2015 #83

"little defenders"? NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #147

That is the same poster that posted about how much they seemed to like Jamastiene Jan 2015 #105

I deleted a few and left the original ones that express my view, to keep it simple for you all. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #157

Or you were worried about getting voted off the island. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #158

I have no idea what the conventions are for naming French elementary schools. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2015 #97

Well, there are lots of those around 'Terrorist Act or Mass Murder' eg. sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #73

But that's not what the poster actually said...nt SidDithers Jan 2015 #57

Then you didn't get the meaning of the post. Nine of the people murdered were the direct targets sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #75

Why isn't that clear? Curmudgeoness Jan 2015 #85

Nope- sounds like you missed all his victim blaming self deletes yesterday. bettyellen Jan 2015 #92

I'm addressing the comment in this thread. Not the only time I've seen people lamenting on sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #96

Well, then you are giving the poster the benefit of the doubt- but those who have full context.... bettyellen Jan 2015 #104

LOL, no crime- but you're so ashamed of your words you need to backtrack and hide them? bettyellen Jan 2015 #155

Wow. I guess you haven't been reading many replies, bettyellen. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #156

the replies you self- deleted because you can't "stand with" them either? Funny little game.... bettyellen Jan 2015 #161
