The web is a dynamic super group of entities that always changes. Old content that doesn't change soon gets flushed. If you are worried about your links that don't point to comments that were made previously then you will have to change your text so that you get the links right. Its just a normal part of being a net citizen that we all are. C’mon it really isn’t that bad. The web is a dynamic super group of entities that always changes.

The next time somebody closes their comments and nukes all the past comments, it might be a darn good signal they are out of gas both figuratively and literally. Certainly enough for this reader to eject. A mere couple months ahead of the other former readers Mr. Beattie is now encouraging to unsubscribe.

People rewrite history all the time. How well they succeed depends on how well the people living thru events remember the facts. Interpretation adds a lot, good and bad, but it can only go so far. By wanting to discard comments he created a new topic, which drew me in. Now, does his rejection count as rejection of the reputations of the people who contributed to his blog, or did he reject part of himself? It definitely did not destroy anyone's identity. But did he clean his house too well? Some think he might have second thoughts, some think he will come out unscathed. Is it necessary to keep repeating his name? Remember, that the novel Roots had the seed of oral history to help it blossom. Beattie deleted the feedback to his own blog. People rewrite history all the time.

However, what does it mean when you reply to a blog on USA Today ON Deadline (about Google and the government wanting to collect our search records indiscriminately hoping to catch some who contact pornography sites.) and the complete article disappears from the site?

Nevermind that I was the only person (that I saw anyway, I’m sure somebody else somewhere offered help) who ultimately gave the guy a two minute one line code technical solution to the whole mess — which he has still ignored to date. Just because people disagree agree with you doesn’t mean they are any of the labels Shelley or I mentioned. In fact, I think when someone tries to sink in a debate to namecalling or stereotyping, it weakens their position severely.

And while I enjoyed the picture above, I think the message that it presents is a bit harsh. If Mr. Beattie wants his site to suck, let it be. Breaking links is certainly bad for the mojo.
