As far as moderating his threads to remove the 'ginger's and 'Cox's, I did consider that. Previous moderator actions have indicated, however, that selective tampering with other people's posts - even in a comparitively minor way - is a big no-no, arguably less acceptable, generally, than outright deletion. Also, while the original epithets aren't relevant to InnerCircle's ongoing argument, the ensuing discussion (prompted, I'm sure, by my objection to and his continued use/justification of 'ginger') covers a fair amount of post-space. I'd have been happy to excise my part of that argument, as would Xoc and Haus and, I suspect, others - but InnerCircle himself has not given his consent. If we'd gone ahead regardless and removed huge chunks of his later posts, I'm pretty sure he'd have been incandescent.
So... this is Plan B. |
