>>>7734>refusing to let me protect people who might existNigel, If you had any desire to protect these (probably non-existent) people, you wouldn’t have posted their personally identifiable information in the first place. You’re telling us that you basically doxxed these people by posting too much identifying information about them. And Nigel, it’s not about us “letting” you do anything. You have no power to do anything except report threads. You are asking us in staff to do something.
>I see no reason why I should accept a compromiseYou have no power to “accept” or reject anything. You want us to delete posts. We in staff are the only people with the power to delete posts. You either persuade us to use our power, or you don’t. There is no “accepting” a compromise. There is only us deleting, or not deleting.
>the reasonable thing I want and the unreasonable position of those standing in the way of that specifically, as was openly stated, to spite meYour position is unreasonable. You want us to delete 1300 posts made over the last 3 years by multiple people, for the purpose of removing posts because of an unspecified possibility that something in there might need to be deleted. This is like leveling an entire apartment block to kill a few possible unseen spiders. Those posts don’t belong to you anymore. When you post something in the public sphere, and then continue to post and affirm those posts, and then other people engage with that, you give up your right to claim those posts as your own. Those belong to the internet now. They belong to wider culture. They belong to /mlpol/. And many of the posts you want us to delete were not even made by you, they were made by other people. You never had a right to claim those posts and we, as staff, have no right to delete them.
Maybe Elway or others in this thread think those posts have no value. Maybe someone else has spite. I don’t have spite, and I don’ t care what they say has value. I don’t think it’s my place to decide what, in the wider internet, has value and what doesn’t
>Deoetung the threads would save a lot more time than combing through them for the worst posts.We’re not going to comb them
>I’m just one person. I don’t have the time for thatYou are the one who wants them deleted. You are the one who (allegedly) posted the private information of other people. The burden is on you to show what needs to be deleted. And yes you do have that time. You had the time to write it.
>And how do I know any argument I make for deleting objectionable posts will be taken seriouslyElway misspoke, or you misunderstood him. You do not have to argue why it should be deleted. You don’t have to argue why, you just have to point out what and where it is. Just in the report write “information on the second sentence of paragraph 3” so we know where it is. You don’t have to give a reason, just say what and where it is.
>enemies of whites do.The enemies of whites don’t care about you. If they did, they would have found this information you’re talking about in the 1-3 years since you posted their information here.
>Any hints towards people in my life, even the smallest, could be used to narrow down possibilities when it comes to who I am or who others are. This sentence, along with your statement that you “don’t have time to comb the threads,” strongly implies to me that when you asked for us to delete things, you did not have instances of posting other people’s information in mind, which supports my idea that that isn’t the reason you wanted and still want the threads deleted, but is just a cover story.
I personally think you are too self obsessed to have ever posted identifying information about other people.
>When I am given valuable critique I listenThen listen to this: your biggest problem is that you want to make yourself the subject of every discussion, or else, to turn every discussion into a discussion about some subject you are more interested in, rather than engage in discussion of the topic.
> I want to remove the threads and move on from this siteThe purpose of moderation is to serve the users of this site. If you are “moving on” from this site, why should we care what you want? People who use this site may derive value from posts in those threads written by other people, or maybe even from posts written by you. We are not going to delete large threads because someone who does not use this site wants us to. If we did, we’d have to delete the entire site.
>My haters will lose the most important person in their livesNigel, this is the self-obsession thing. No one except yourself sees you as the most important thing in their lives.
>But I already know why the threads will likely be up forever. It’s because of spireNo, it’s because I’m not going to delete a large number of posts by many people just to please someone who has promised to stop using the site. If we did that for everyone, we’d have to delete the entire site.
>Do others really deserve to suffer because of that? Innocent people, some with families?Are you telling us that you posted the personal information of many people with families on this site? Are you really that reckless?
As stated so many times before, just report the posts, and we’ll delete them.
