reddragdivaHmm. Someone has just deleted
all their comments from my most recent
cri de
coeur concerning Windows as plague pit, under merciless
questioning from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
damerell.
(Let me state here that David Damerell is a fine fellow with a proper appreciation of real ale and is jolly nice in person. I'm sure his modem balls are a feature rather than a bug.)
These comments were to a public post, they were up in public for a week before deletion, and I have them in my LJ Replies mail folder.
[Poll #186322]I shall, of course, reserve my personal opinion, so as not to bias your selection.
Never say anything online you don't want around for years.
(I did keep my original response to "You are being grossly half-smart.")
Update: To switch off animation of GIFs in Mozilla or Firebird, enter about:config in the address bar, enter anim in the filter and it will bring up image.animation_mode - set to 'none' for no animation, 'once' for a single run-through, 'normal' to loop forever.

Date: 2003-09-30 04:02 pm (UTC)redirecting good rewriting bad
Date: 2003-09-30 04:05 pm (UTC)but if you re-post them yourself this is like copying them out yourself, and even f**wits should have their "copyright" respected. It's not cut and dried -- I can think of arguments that counter what I've written above (too lazy to write them down but). So I guess I'm saying that *personally*, I would feel comfortable pointing to the spot where the comments still exist, but would not feel comfortable re-posting them myself.

Date: 2003-09-30 05:17 pm (UTC)You can of course post whatever you want. Including things that have been deleted.
You can also pick your nose in public.
People probably aren't going to applaud when you do either tho'.

Date: 2003-09-30 05:42 pm (UTC)Actually, it's much more entertaining _without_ the inane posts in the middle. This way, you just get pure, unsullied
OH...
Date: 2003-09-30 07:04 pm (UTC)After all...they were my comments!
But don't think I'll feel any differently...I told you why I deleted them
But don't wory about it...I don't expect any more of either of you...In fact, this is just the kind of infantile behaviour I expected.
So, go right ahead...I stand behind everything I said

Date: 2003-10-01 12:53 am (UTC)*Regardless of whether I agree with them or not, it's the least i can do, given that I'm not gonna agree with them...By the end I was being outright offensive on purpose...and that's not a legacy I wish to leave on someone else's LJ for all-and-sundry to see
