i agree - everyone has a right to voice their opinion, and by deleting peoples replies you dont agree with is crazy ... makes it all very one sided and biased, good post  |

Yes, everyone has a right to voice their opinion as they see fit...If you post you should expect people to give you a opinion on what you have posted in your story...If a person wishes not hear/see opinions that don't agree with theirs then maybe they should not post to begin with...In this world nothing is one sided really...we all see things differently...but to delete simply because one disagrees with you is wrong...Honestly I have learned a lot from the members of usm.....seen all sides of debates etc...if I was only allowed to see one side then I've learned nothing and I would walk away without seeing the pros and cons ....and that in itself is a waste...  |

On the other hand...if the author chooses to delete someone's comments...isn't that their way of expressing their opinion as well? I wouldn't do it, but then I don't care (not meant offensively) enough about anyone's opinion to delete it just because I didn't agree. |

It is childish....I don't see the point in deleting a reply unless it was really offensive towards me, or maybe someone else. Just deleting them because you don't like them is just crazy.  |

No, deleting someone's opinion because it contradicts yours isn't a way of expressing your opinion. That would be your reply to the opinion that you disagree with. The deletion is a meagre means of controlling the argument so that it goes your way. No, I don't think that deleting someone's opinion just because you disagree with it is right. If you don't want other people's opinions, then don't post. On the other hand, people have to be courteous in their replies. I suppose it goes both ways.  |

I argrue with you acctaully it is funny we all fight liek mad when it comes to opinyions. I am not christian but I still get mad when i hear people bag out christianity because it is their belife just because I do not belive it dose not mean no one else can. I guess one way to sort out the probble is this if you do not like what someone wroite then do not look at it. just egnore it so long as it will not effect other people or their lives then egnore it.  |

It's exactly why some people put their posts in discussion rather than debate (where comments can't be deleted). That way they can take the cowardly way out and just delete what they can't defend.  |

I agree with you. I have only ever used the delete button if something is double posted or if it is offensive. I think the last time I did it for that reason was over 2 years ago. If you post something controversial, you should expect controversy...  |

Great post Lizard and I agree. I don't thin...no I know, I have never deleted any comment because I didn't agree with it...that is insane. If you're going to do that..why bother post anything in debate?  |

I just wanted to add that the authors arent the only ones who can or do delete comments; admins do also.  |

The only comments I have ever deleted were way back when anon's were able to comment...some of their comments were pretty vulger. I agree with you 100%! If you don't want the opinion then don't ask for it.  |

Yea I think the whole point is to look at things from another point of view. Why delete something just because you don't agree with it? Ghost-Chick  |
