It seems pretty clear that a majority of the members felt
Jep and Valerie were in the right to have items they entered
removed.  So why would we want to immediately go to to another
vote that would restrict other users from the same courtesy?

Maybe anderyn would like the item in which she discussed her
daughter's unintended pregnancy removed.  Last I looked anderyn
had removed all of her responses from that winter 2001 conference,
but the item remains.  I suspect that must be of some bother to her.
Shouldn't she be able to remove that item?

Jep has items he entered talking about his son having Asperger's
syndrome and child support issues.  If he wants those gone what
happens?  How about mynxcat's weight loss item?  Do we get to
say who has a worthy concern or is it up to the author of the item?

I don't get how the membership could so strongly support Jep and Valerie
and then so "no way" to the next injured poster.  Is that what's
happening?

Joe, I think your first proposal is more fitting at this point.
I suspect it will find support.  It will change Grex, but we
always knew it was shaped by the membership, for better or worse.
