I don't think the argument here should be about LHC's life or if her feelings were hurt. I agree with LHC that the posts shouldn't be deleted.
But I do think it's bizarre that her stance is that the flames against her weren't deleted in the past, others shouldn't be deleted now. We're on a different board with different mods. I don't see how past flamings are relevant.

It's all just so freaking arbitrary. What JLM is going through is heavier than what most other people are likely going through. Yes. But she seems to be able to handle it just fine. Do the trolls hurt her? Probably. But what about a troll who comes in here and calls a poster who is struggling with her body image fat & gross? In the scheme of things, compared to JLM, that's no big deal. But people would go freaking insane. Deletion would no doubt occur.
It comes down to whether this is a healthy place for someone to hang out. If not, they can go!! The trolls would no longer bother them!! Doesn't seem like JLM is having an issue there.
God I'm annoyed. I'm sure this makes zero sense.
For the record, I think lambasting someone who is struggling with their body image, particularly if we are all fully aware of it is absolutely comparable to giving jlm shit for her circumstances.
I'm an epic asshole when it comes to flaming. But I try very hard not to dig at people who are struggling.

I'm just wondering why jlm is wasting her time going to a crappy concert instead of spending time with her kid. the one she loves and isn't trying to pawn off on her sister. act like an adult and be a parent.
So when you have kids you are never to do anything fun without them? Are you for real? Do you have kids?
Exactly! But most of the other posts remain undeleted!
I can't control what a mod chooses to delete. Also, people have always had the option to request a thread to be deleted.
The person it is about has the option to request deletion. But jlm didn't even see the original post. And from the way it sounds, she wouldn't have requested it's deletion, she is tougher than some give her credit for.

I know genius, that's why I said I can't control who deletes what.
I was referencing the second part of your post, genius.
