User renamed and gone

The user formerly known as t*****r is now known as "it" and banned by desire; he wanted us to delete all his posts but we don't do that.

This is so you know.

Deleting all posts/threads is not something we do and in almost every case except maybe two, users thought they were vulnerable by having information "out there" on the Internet, but were actually being drama queens. For your knowledge, anything posted here remains here, but also, it remains permanently on the Internet Archives, so even if the Cellar were to go away, the permanent record is not erased.

My own opinion is that, for 99.9% of us, it would be insanely rare for someone to find your handle, search for every instance of it on the Internets, and read every paragraph ever posted in the assumption that it is you. But who knows, you may someday be so highly renowned that archivists drag out your every word. And if so, why not give them something to talk about?

Oh dear, our loss. It's your fault people, could you pay attention the baton and follow directions? Noooooooo, you kept posting your thoughts and posting about issues his nibs was done with.
Sorry Dr Dana, he was too dictatorial for me.

Did Trump or Clinton or anyone else running for King, post anything incriminating/embarrassing here?

I should add that I told him I was willing to delete 3 of his posts instead of the laundry list of threads he wanted deleted. It was a completely arbitrary number, but seemed reasonable to me. So if you go poking around old threads and notice that I edited a post to replace his words with an ellipsis , that's the story behind that. They were sensitive posts to him.
