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. post:metatalk.metafilter.com,2006:site.13338 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 08:57:42 -0800 The Confessor http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13338/threeletter-word-for-a-male-cat-and-a-fiveletter-word-for-a-seafaring-vacation#369314 I'd be satisfied with a note saying something like "Possible libel against [person] deleted upon request from lawyers." comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2006:site.13338-369314 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 08:59:27 -0800 The Confessor http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13338/threeletter-word-for-a-male-cat-and-a-fiveletter-word-for-a-seafaring-vacation#369320 Please stop this. Feel free to email mathowie or I about it. The comment was removed at the poster's request. <br> <br> Possible libel against [person] deleted upon request from lawyers.
