I've seen at least two people going back and altering their posts. I have no problem in clearing up a mistake but completely re-writing it after a reply is underhand. Anyone doing it repeatedly will have the facility removed. |

I do have a habit of not reading what I've written until I send... or sometimes I rethink something I've said. I don't do it days later... or as a discussion unfolds to reverse what I've said. But understandable--I'll reread BEFORE sending. (__)__) <---bad |

....oh and for the record there have been times I was editing and someone replied at the same time.... I do feel a bit bad when that happens. |

Oh please. One just needs to look at the internet affairs thread to see how many posts you and Plague have changed/added to. I mean, changes that were done well after replies were made. But whatever, it's not like this is the first time you two have pulled that kind of shit. lol. But hey, whatever you guys need to do to keep up the "we're just one of the good guys" image.

Liar. Prove it. It's so easy to say whatever you want when it comes from your ass. |

I've edited after the fact, but not to change anything significant, usually just to fix grammar or spelling. I think my most egregious "abuse" was adding a pic of scooby snacks in a post which I had forgotten to do initially, and I think Henry may have posted before I made that change. I apologize, and feel free to disable the editing feature on my account if you think I've abused it. In fact, since the claim of retroactive editing has come up previously, it might not be a bad idea to disable it all together. |

I like the fact that we can go back and change things, particularly when we've made spelling mistakes. It'd be a shame to lose that feature. |

Btw - we now have philosophyandabsurdity.com for another year. Nearly forgot about the subscription, could have lost it in another day or two, and I'm sure certain people would have been happy to snap up the .com to piss us off.

It's always been the basis that everyone here is mature enough to warrant the feature. I edit spelling mistakes - it's not an issue. Adding whole new sentences is unacceptable. I've not named anyone - and it's not something I'm actively paying attention to - but if it's abused I doubt the feature will be around for long. Even abuse requires integrity.

I like to correct errors, too. I did edit one post and I made a comment about "..my edit gone wild." I'm sorry if that's one of the ones you're talking about Henry. When I started writing that post I wasn't aware anyone else was even signed on. As soon as I hit send I realized I'd said something I wished I hadn't. I didn't change the general context of the thread, just a particular comment that, in retrospect, I felt was too personal. Sorry! Now......I'm off to the windy city! |

Yup. I agree with Staci..... I've reworded entire sentences (deleted a few) when rereading (one post in particular) where I thought I made a comment a tad over the "line". Again, I did this as fast as possible hoping no one had responded. **Bring a hat to throw up in the air Staci!** |

Well, I'm pretty sure I've added a sentence to a post after the fact. I couldn't tell you which post(s), but sometimes looking after sending, I think of something else to add. My intention was never to change substantially the thrust of my post, rather to expand and clarify. However, since my character and integrity have been called into question, I request that the editing feature for my account be disabled so that accusations of such activity can be confirmed by the administrators as not occurring. |

I can do it Plague, but I don't see the point. This message is to draw attention to the practice. Attention drawn. That is sufficient. |

I edit a post if someone hasn't already replied. If someone has replied, the post stands - spelling mistakes and all, just so no confusion or bitching that I changed my post (when in reality, some asshole didn't take the time to read it properly) can occur. Also, as a personal rule, I don't say things I don't mean - if I change my mind later, or agree I shouldn't have said that, I'll simply write a new post addressing that issue. I don't delete posts, I think it's skanky. |

Me, too. As seen with my triple posts. I add to my posts or I correct spelling or grammar mistakes usually within ten minutes or less. After that, not even I care enough about what I've written to re-read it. I've never taken words or sentences from a post or deleted them altogether (that I can recall). |

Sword. I dont have to prove anything. You know damn well you've done it, hence your accusation of staci deleting a post, when she clearly didnt. It's called a guilty fucking conscience. |

Actually, I have to say... ...so far I trust everyone here in that regard. I think that I had a post in which henry was offended.... I did add sentences... and take out one comment I thought was over the line.... ... in my defense however, no one had responded yet and I have a terrible habit of not reading my posts untill posted either. I should do that now. ..... Okay done. I think. |
