A semi solution would be to copy and paste the crazy post into another post and reply with it so a copy is preserved.

    

Surgery will be hopefully in October or November 2014, with Dr. Megan Gilmore

So true. I also love it when people add 'no offense" knowing they are purposely offending someone.

If it was no holds barred on a forum such as as this one, Obesity Help would not retain records of all postings, which is done in the event that they are subpoenaed and the postings used as evidence.  Someone may feel the right to say something, someone else has the right to take them to court, it's the American way.  And then there are the threats, those are not treated as a right to speech either.

OH doesn't need to retain records, everything is already archived on the internet if you know where to look. Heck, I can go look at a full copy of this site from 10 years ago!

If you're a person with integrity and character, you don't try to erase your mistakes by trying to delete the "evidence."  Only cowards try to rewrite their own histories.

OWN IT, I always say.  

And BTW Amy, you need to add another option to the explanations -  ALL OF THE ABOVE.

To disassociate yourself from your past comments is nothing short of cowardice and intellectually dishonest.  It's the act of a SHEEPLE.  Don't be one.

Yes. Deleting is running away.

i have a really bad tendency to speak before thinking. And that applies sometimes to posts I write. But the adult way to deal with it is to add a sentence to the top saying " I got this wrong. Sorry, the following is untrue/unkind/misleading/offensive. Sorry".  Otherwise, any replies make no sense. I am big on people accepting their errors and apologising. Hard to do, can mean you get flak. But it is being honest and grown up.

If you're going to say something, you should do it with reason and foresight. Be a leader, not a sheep!

And if you have to say "I am not judging," or "not to sound mean but..." in your post? You probably shouldn't say it unless you're willing to have people tell you that you're being judgmental and/or mean. :)

OWN IT... that's the way to go.  If you are too weak to stand by what you've posted, you are nothing more than a SHEEPLE!
