> WHY won't you pull a post when its obvo ongoingly harmful and triggering to all, not JUST the dissed poster????

Dissing is part of life, even here. I'd like to encourage ways of dealing with it besides trying to make it disappear.

> > I like the permanency, in a way, because it creates an amazing historical record of truth, not made nicer or glossed over. I especially like the idea that this accepts and includes "bad" impulses and expressions--as if saying that we can all get carried away, and say mean things, and yet we'ere basically accepted as part of the community--and we can accept this about one another, without having to deny or erase it--so this part of all of us is acknowledged,, even though it's important to try not to act on the impulse.

Also, there's sometimes interest in what people have posted in the past. So they might think twice before dissing someone in the first place.

Also, this way it's more clear what's administratively responded to how.

> WHY not validate a poster when they been dissed? Even if the disser is already blocked, it still would be nice to acknoledge that poster has been hurt.

I haven't been posting to those who may feel hurt when I block someone. Maybe I should. My hope is that they see the block as validating, and that other posters support them directly.
