From #235: >> Oh yeah, I'm completely opposed to any policy that says the item
author can always kill an item with responses from others in it.
That Valerie and Jep were the ones who started these items is pretty
much incidental.  The thing that distinguishes those items is that they
were the effective leaders of the discussions and the primary subjects
of the discussion.  The fact that they entered the original item is the
very least part of what made the items "theirs".<<

That's very interesting, because consider this:  What if someone entered an
item to discuss another person, perhaps in a very mean-spirited way.
Would the "victim" of that item, who is not the one who entered it, be able
to have a fw or staff kill that item at the victim's request?
