98. Self delete does away with being held accountable...

Sun Apr 29, 2012, 03:57 PM

I agree with this. I think the self delete does have a purpose. If you post something and then realize it was out of line or counter productive, self delete is ok. But when you fill a thread when nastiness you shouldn't get to erase the evidence, you should have to own what you said. You don't get to take your ball and go home.

This person didn't think they were out of line, quite the opposite in fact. They should be held accountable. IMO

That's a great idea for the future. Thanks for pointing that out. Tarheel_Dem Apr 2012 #89

On DU2 the poster seemed to have a "protected" status - the poster could literally post just about apocalypsehow Apr 2012 #94

I'm just saying that if she realized she couldn't get away with her deletion game, nobodyspecial Apr 2012 #96

The fact that the poster has on occasion, claimed to be a "journalist" really bothers me. Tarheel_Dem Apr 2012 #97
