The "high road?" Using the edit feature to essentially delete and hide things they previously posted. What's the answer to this?

Im sure you all know which thread I am referencing (twin buns). A soldier basically went through and deleted every comment including the topic header itself. She then called it "taking the high road." I can't speak to her motives of doing so but it was probably smart on her part to protect her later. However, it does make the entire thread useless, especially if you can just make the topic itself disappear.<div>But say for example, I cussed out a CSM on here and then later went back and deleted it. What then? I say if you say it, then own it. Accept responsibility for your actions. Don't cop-out after the fact.</div>

Gentlemen -
In my opinion, exercising the delegated right to edit / modify / delete one's images and comments, may well be the best exercise of good judgement in taking the high road.
There is no reason to endlessly debate or down vote for exercising good judgement.
Indeed, all that was accomplished was an award 2,500 bonus and many other points.
If you want to blame someone for counseling to take the high road then blame me!!!

This is the second thread in about two days Ive seen this happen with. I think if you made the remarks, you are stuck with them. You take your licks, move forward, and learn from it. Dont change it, because it doesnt help your appearance anymore

The problem I have found with posting comments to threads, or sending/replying to emails, rather than speaking to someone personally is that it seems to mask the gravity of the situation at hand by taking the face to face confrontation out of it. Even, (and often), the little things can be very inflammatory. Words have meaning, I have learned the hard way myself that if I am commenting or replying to an email and feel emotionally inflamed, to draft what I want, then walk away for awhile. When you read what you have written in anger with a clear mind, you either delete it or change it. Taking the high road should be accepting responsibility for your actions and learning from the experience. Pretending it never happened only 1) delays the problem from being resolved or 2) damages your credibility and usually both anyway.
