This is Passive-aggressive.

How, precisely? I am saying precisely what I take exception to, and why. I do not know how to be much more direct/assertive/whatever. This is the exact OPPOSITE of PA. I feel like you would only be happy if I spewed epithets at you.

You've had an admin come in and say that it wasn't going to happen.

Bubs said no such thing, actually! Neither did Gorilla.

Just because you don't like the reasons doesn't make them bad either.

The fact that the reasons have no basis in things that actually happen is what makes them bad. That is what all my questions have been driving toward. It is dishonest to say otherwise.

HoS candidates can be judged on their past comments.

They are anyway, even if those comments were made in a particular game and only a fraction of the community ever sees it. An edited or deleted post wouldn't change this dynamic in the least.

Double and even triple posting doesn't kill a topic, otherwise this one would have been beaten to death a long time ago.

Don't think I ever said it did! I asked if it would have been easier, an upgrade in readability to read things in one post instead of 2-3.

If it's a philosophical thing that all posts should be final because you like it better that way, then that's fine, you're welcome to think that. But if you want to justify it by saying you would see less dumb shit being posted then you're making an error. There is no reason to think that, and by your own admission posts being final makes it a bit less likely that shit gets posted in the first place.
