Because I believe in the power of sunlight as a disinfectant, I use the delete button relatively rarely, and the vaporize option only for the most egregious trash.<br /><br />If it says, "removed by the author", then the person who signed in and made the post, deleted it themselves with the trashcan.<br /><br />I suspect counterlight removed his posts where he engaged the troll, in response to my request. I leave that up to our friends if they choose to do so. It does confuse the thread a bit but I figure people are smart enough to work it out.<br /><br />Hope this helps. <br /><br />When are you getting a blog, anyway? ;-)IThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605163506396013904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-17450844460318313392009-08-05T21:17:52.813-07:002009-08-05T21:17:52.813-07:00IT, can you clarify something for me?
I thought t...IT, can you clarify something for me?<br /><br />I thought that when you (or another mod) deleted a troll, it would say "This post has been removed by the blog administrator" (or something like that).<br /><br />It's only if *I* say something dumbf*ck, and want to get rid of it (and I've signed in on Google, unlike this post!), and then press the Lil' Trashcan (icon) to delete it, that it would say "This post has been removed by the author."<br /><br />Now, I'm assuming that you, not "Sad", removed Sad's posts. So why the "author" designation, not "administrator"?<br /><br />Don't get me wrong: I'm all for deleting troll-spewage. I just like to understand that that is what happened...JCFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-33678759453581521272009-08-04T13:25:36.209-07:002009-08-04T13:25:36.209-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-15038818766235114842009-08-04T11:49:07.766-07:002009-08-04T11:49:07.766-07:00Guys, please do NOT engage the trolls.
