I think in general, your "right" is gone with public domain. I dont understand it. If your circumstances change (thinking politician here) and you switch stances on an issue important to you, then you need to defend why you no longer feel that way. Its public knowledge, etc, unless you go through the ppropriate steps to protect yourself and your ideas.

There's legal standing for it in Europe and growing support in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten
Politicians discuss things as a matter of public record. They give up certain luxuries as a matter of the duty they attempt to fill. They're regulated for a matter of our protection. I don't support that level of scrutiny for the citizen. LT doesn't have to answer to me.

This hasn't happened that much here but enough times that it's become a thing now. Every time, we ask what happened. Luckily here, Yotsy had his email and they talked about it.
Not everybody lost the right to flush after PBJ. I think it was pretty selective. When Genesim got his ability to edit and delete his posts, he had no idea that it was just him. It was actually pretty funny to follow.
Back on topic, Saint's guidance here is what's needed. It's his forum so his opinion and rules are what matters. I checked the user agreement and there's not much in there about this.

I'm struggling to understand the level of frustration I would have to have to want to delete my content.
I guess if a build thread got post helled that might piss me off enough to do it, but its hard to imagine something like that happening.
