Well now wait a second … I’m neither wondering nor complaining (you’re in charge), but since the post is gone, I do have a question. I skimmed that post and recommended it for the depth of knowledge it displayed about Beacon Hill comings and goings. Isn’t there an argument for selective edits of the offensive material rather than wholesale deletion? Or, since time is an issue, requesting such from the author?

“Good post, except for the anti-Semitism” — nah. I’m all done with that.

Fair enough. Like I said, I didn’t read every word of it.

Clarification: you can complain about the policy (if you weren’t the one who broke it). I just won’t change my mind, that’s all.

Tried to see (unsuccessfully)who downrated this and accidently downrated it myself. Sorry.

For whatever reason it’s not possible to see who rated posts like it is for comments. I wish we could.

I REALLY appreciate your diligence in this.
