I was just reading the recent Naturist Club Petition post and read in the Comments what was said about changing someone's post. Apparently the post was changed or added to in some way, and apparently this was all done in good fun and received as such. I think, though, that changing someone's post should be a no-no. It was done recently to one of my posts, and I think I know why: I was in error about what I said about a person. In the instance, the change to my post was trivial and appropriate, but I think this sets a dangerous precedent. The posts must be monitored, I know, and some outright removed. If a correction is in order, I think one of three things should be done: Set the record straight by a follow-up Comment; ask the writer's permission to change the post; or delete the Post entirely. This would be a judgment call by those who can make changes.
What do you think?

Hi Lanny,
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%.
Recently, in one of the Naturist Posts, there was a mention of Mojo without his plumage. It occurred to me to add a featherless parrot to a Post.
Said bird was in due course removed.
I am not aware of who changed your Post or why; but indeed henceforth Post changers should leave comments and seek authorization.
The sole exception being for blatantly racists, ethnic or foul language slurs.
