Shelley Powers: What was the biggest disappointment was when Sam Ruby edited my comments.  I can't think of anything worse than to edit other's comments. I can see deleting abusive  comments in weblogs, or editing them on the request of the person who wrote them, or banning someone who's abusive -- but not editing comments without permission.

Status update: I've adjusted the html tags I use to annotate weblog comments.  Instead of merely a <del> tag, I now use a hypertext link: one with a title of flamebait, and a link to a page where further information and discussion can take place.  I've also placed more information and a link to this page on my comments preview page.

I've also chosen to mark fewer words on one of Shelley's comments as flamebait.

I encourage everybody to scan the entire thread.

P.S.  The title of this blog entry is from Jon Udell's OSCOM keynote.
