Jep, I understand why you did what you did. flem is being a little 
harsh terming it vandalism (The image of you sitting at your computer 
rubbing your hands in glee and cackling comes to mind, and it makes me 
laugh) I'm glad that you found a break, and got those items that could 
have caused you potential harm deleted.

However, Grex did have a rule. Either you make it cut-and-dried - 
there will be no deleting, you may only use retire, or come to the 
realisation that if we think it ok for your situation, you have to let 
other people be able to do it too. Your divorce could be a highly 
stressful subject for you to have on agora, in someone else's case it 
could be something else. Who is to judge how much concern an 
individual has about an item that is out there, that they may have 
started in a moment of vulnerability. 

(And while we're at it, I'd like that item I entered about the piano 
in the music cf to be deleted. People might read it and make fun of my 
piano playing skills, or lack thereof ;) )
