Unless if we're in the business of disallowing the users here to goof off a little, it made no sense to suddenly delete the blog post. That was the point I was making. It's not simply that I didn't like it. There are several reasons that I deleted it. Simply being slighty inappropriate wasn't enough of a reason, which is why I left it up when it first was made. Whether or not it has a point is also highly dubious. Of course the "point" was a "little fun", but not only was it not fun for a few people, that excuse could be made for most any blog. If being for fun is a legitimate purpose, then we pretty much can't disallow any blogs based on that clausr. It's also not just "goofing off a little", it is blatant immaturity. Seriously, how many other respectable wikis do you know that would allow that kind of blog? I can't think of any that would tolerate such nonsense, unless, possibly, if it was a wiki about celebrities.

Besides it being slightly inappropriate, pointless, spammy, bizarre, and just plain ridiculous, there was another, more important, reason for which it was deleted. That was some of the conversations going on, some about "love", others about orientation, and others implying that some people were getting offended. It is far better to have deleted it then to have let any of the conversations turn into heated arguments or inappropriate discussions. There are some subjects on which I must draw the line. While I understand your points, I would like to throw out there that it really doesn't altogether matter if our blogs are fitting of "respectable" wikis. It just matters that it conforms to our rules, and it did.

Now, onto the "inappropriate conversations"... I never saw any of those, so I have no idea what really happened. It was deleted before I got the chance to check all the comments, so, someone fill me in? :P No, I don't care to discuss them on my message wall. The comments as they were were barely tolerable; however, it was easy to predict what kind of comments would follow, which is why I took the preventative measure. Note that I said, "It is far better to have deleted it then to have let any of the conversations turn into heated arguments or inappropriate discussions." They were already a bit inappropriate, but they probably would have gotten worse. All I did was delete the blog before that happened, instead of after, which no one should have objected to much.
