In reply to the discussion: Tackling Asian Privilege [View all]Nye Bevan
(25,406 posts)I used to regard the Hosts as kind of like the Cardinals in the Vatican, but no more. Many seem to think that they are almost like DU2-style moderators who can step in and lock threads whenever (in their opinion) the "jury got it wrong". Then there are those who realize that this is improper but are willing to consider compromising their principles in exchange for other threads being locked.
And for those still huffing and puffing, I would respectfully point out that this is Skinner's website, and he demurred when asked by the OP if he should self-delete. Skinner can also lock or delete any post at any time, obviously, and has chosen not to do so in this case. I think for those who are still perturbed, the "Trash Thread" feature may be your best option.
