We recently had a MetaTalk thread regarding a three-letter word for a male cat and a five-letter word for a sea-faring vacation. I won't protest the thread's deletion; the entire site exists at the administration's discretion. What concerns me, however, are the Orwellian implications of deletion with no residual record in a community-based site.

I'd be satisfied with a note saying something like "Possible libel against [person] deleted upon request from lawyers."

Please stop this. Feel free to email mathowie or I about it. The comment was removed at the poster's request.

Possible libel against [person] deleted upon request from lawyers. Okay?
