I noticed that too. It's one thing to delete your own messages.. but deleting those of others seems kind of scary. When anyone else 'puts their foot in their mouth', they have to accept that others are going to see the rebukes they've received. I guess moderators don't hold themselves to the same standards? ScottA, if it was you who did this, because you are embarrased by what you started, maybe you should have just apologized, instead of deleting the posts of other people who may have said something that made you look bad?
