So instigators can post something totally horrific and when the person it is aimed at gets upset or retaliates, they go back and edit out the bad parts to make the responder look like they're psycho insane! I run an internet forum similar to this one and only myself and another girl can moderate threads... we always consult one another before we edit, delete or close ANYTHING. I like to have a second opinion and sometimes I even ask opinions from people who don't use our boards to get an "unbiased" opinion. I HATE "censoring" and so I let most ANYTHING go, unless it is blatant accusations of illegal activity (for example, I had one forum member accuse another (who was a paying sponsor of the website!) of paying her teenaged son in marijuana for working in her barn! I just couldn't let that stay up there. I politely emailed the forum member who made that accusation (she was upset because someone pointed out if her skinny yearlings were eating fence as fast as she could build it perhaps she ought to look at her nutritional program!) and explained why I was deleting that bit and that she was more than welcome to remain a member of the community but we just couldn't tolerate that kind of thing... I also emailed the person who had been accused and explained things to her as well.... other than that, I don't like to touch ANYTHING.
