I say it is so when, and you know it is ONLY a matter of time, their postings get subpoenaed and brought to court (because you *know* OH has ALL of our posts, ever! or so I've read) for various real and/or perceived wrong-doings, certain, um, ahem, ladies, will be able to use a mental illness defense such as DID, early-onset dementia, alien takeover, Ambien usage, the vapors...
Or they're ass wipes and like to hit and run...say crap, let it stink stuff up for just long enough to linger in your sinuses, then clear it out - like a silent but deadly fart in an elevator!

Gotta recharge somehow so you can power on and teach those American youths of tomorrow, right?

I was just poking around in the different forums and found this. I really like some of those. I wish I was better at doing things for myself. Thank you for sharing it.

A semi solution would be to copy and paste the crazy post into another post and reply with it so a copy is preserved.
So true. I also love it when people add 'no offense" knowing they are purposely offending someone.

If it was no holds barred on a forum such as as this one, Obesity Help would not retain records of all postings, which is done in the event that they are subpoenaed and the postings used as evidence. Someone may feel the right to say something, someone else has the right to take them to court, it's the American way. And then there are the threats, those are not treated as a right to speech either.
OH doesn't need to retain records, everything is already archived on the internet if you know where to look. Heck, I can go look at a full copy of this site from 10 years ago!

If you're a person with integrity and character, you don't try to erase your mistakes by trying to delete the "evidence." Only cowards try to rewrite their own histories.
OWN IT, I always say.
And BTW Amy, you need to add another option to the explanations - ALL OF THE ABOVE.
To disassociate yourself from your past comments is nothing short of cowardice and intellectually dishonest. It's the act of a SHEEPLE. Don't be one.

Yes. Deleting is running away.
i have a really bad tendency to speak before thinking. And that applies sometimes to posts I write. But the adult way to deal with it is to add a sentence to the top saying " I got this wrong. Sorry, the following is untrue/unkind/misleading/offensive. Sorry". Otherwise, any replies make no sense. I am big on people accepting their errors and apologising. Hard to do, can mean you get flak. But it is being honest and grown up.
