I don't mind talking to myself, sometimes it's the only way I get an intelligent conversation ;-) |

The whole point is to and fro of comments eg a conversation albeit on the boards......take away one side and you have rantings of a mad person talking to themselves. Now some will say that's all some of us ever do but that would be their mistake.... :-D :-D |

No disputing the odd deletion here and there but it is very annoying when they appear several times and make following the thread difficult |

No Kense in the whole scale of things it doesn't matter, but it's a general chat board added to by a few but read by many. Nothing on here is ever going to change the world but it's a place for people to put their views sometimes light heartedly sometimes not. |

Does it really matter Caroline? This is only a message board used by a few people. I don't think much posted on here is going to have any real effect on anything. |

Sorry but not always true...or is it just me?? |

I suppose, but that doesn't stop anyone picking up the threads of the thread surely? Just ignore what or who isn't there and go with something more substantial, or respond to those posts that appeared before the deletion. |

But that's not always true...if someone has missed the removed comments and only reads the reply they often have no idea what's being discussed. |

Maybe, but I really don't have trouble following even when things are removed, I just go back to the original post and go from there :-) |

Using your example to keep everything flowing they could add a comment explaining why they'd like to change what they wrote earlier, thereby leaving it clear why others followed and said what they said. Otherwise the whole thread might as well be removed as they often don't make sense after the bulk deleting. |

and of course there is the odd incident of what I would call 'gallows humour' that is not really appropriate for public consumption, that one might be used to at home but does not sit well when out of it with strangers lol. |

I see your point Nyx but it doesn't always apply. Often the comments have been researched and thought out not just quick rash replies. |

Rambling | Report | 18 Jun 2017 16:02 |
I think you should yes, Caroline. I know I try to. But it is not always possible when one types in haste without 'filtering' it first, and typing in haste is what I tend to do when I feel strongly, even though it is not always as coherent or reasoned as I would like it to be. |

Can I guarantee it 100% no..I'm human....but if for instance "you" delete one comment that might apply...a large number...maybe "you" should learn to think before "you" type maybe? |

Maybe one thinks better of what one has said and thinks it maybe went a bit too far? was a bit too sharp, thoughtless of others or was just plain obnoxious lol. |

Should people delete their comments in bulk from threads, which makes reading the thread hard as you've no idea what others are replying to? |
