kitsap_charlesNotice of Intent to Display Hit-And-Run Comments
There is a style of commenting that I call "hit and run" commenting, whereby the commenter posts a comment to a person's LiveJournal and then immediately deletes it. I have usually seen this used when the comment is a nasty remark, something the commenter wouldn't want to have posted for public view but nonetheless wished the original poster to receive in email. It's like sniping from the bushes.
I have decided to post a notice in my own LJ's userinfo that explains that I reserve the right to repost, at my discretion, in part or in their entirety and with attribution, any comments thus sent. It's something I completely despise; it rarely happens to me (thank goodness), but has happened fairly recently to some friends of mine, which brings about this notice. If a person posts a comment to my LiveJournal, I reserve the right to ensure that it stays posted so that others may see it. If that person subsequently deletes it, I reserve the right to repost the comment in part or in whole. Anyone who doesn't agree has the right not to post or comment to me in my LiveJournal. You explicitly agree, by commenting in my journal, that my intent to preserve and display your comment as stated above does not in any way constitute a violation of law, of ethics, or of LiveJournal's Terms of Service.
This doesn't apply to anybody who corrects factual, stylistic, spelling or grammar errors and then reposts. I am not out to embarrass my friends. It's designed to stop hit-and-run nastygrams for which the poster does not intend to take public responsibility; I'm going to give the responsibility where it is due.
Posting a comment in my LiveJournal constitutes acceptance of my terms described above.

Date: 2006-02-15 08:34 pm (UTC)There is not always malicious intent behind deleted comments.
I once, years ago, posted some comments which I later regretted.
I deleted them and posted in their place an apology and explanation.
I believed I was doing the responsible thing, by deleting what I had realized were inappropriate comments.
The other person deleted my apology and then publically snarked about the comments I'd originally posted, AND about the fact that I'd deleted them.
They never mentioned the apology.
