I think there are degrees of hiding. If a post or series of posts are judged to be harassment, I tend to think it a good idea to remove them from the primary record. Provide an alternate view of the archive which shows the suppressed/hidden content in context. Since the public record may be read at any point in time in the future, it makes no sense to judge behavior harassment and then leave it in full view. Sort of negates the whole anti-harassment process. On Fri, 7 Mar 2014, Eric Burger wrote: > That's what I was thinking.
