In any case, I agree that instead of removing the post, a postscript is sufficient to explain your point of view. If you don't stand behind what you write, your writing loses its force. I think this sort of retroactive self-censorship is a double-edged sword that should be wielded with more lightly.

It says HTML is allowed, but the <strike> tag was removed. The phrase "with more" was supposed to have a line through it. Argh. It says HTML is allowed, but the <strike> tag was removed.

Don't post/send anything while you are still mad. Allow yourself some time to cool down before you click post/send. It is often that something written in the heat of the moment doesn't accurately capture you feelings on the issue. It somehow captures your short fuse.

Couldn't agree with you more dude. the dude abides.

The reason the strike tag isn't showing up has to do with the MT Sanitize function that strips comments of malicious code. Basically, it has a list of allowable html tags, and strike isn't one of them. I'll try to figure out how to customize the settings. Thanks to everyone else for the feedback as well.

It's not a big deal, and I should have used preview first, but if you want to add the <strike> tag you can put your own tags in the Blog config -> Preferences -> General Settings. The <a href="http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtmanual_sanitize.html">MT sanitize docs</a> have more details. Aaron: Ah, I thought you had made your own sanitize spec already.

Ruthie's "fuck it" is referring to her recent <a href="http://ruthie.blogspot.com/2003_06_01_ruthie_archive.html#105484740156980180">break up</a>. Hrm. Thanks Dan. It’s fixed.
