Re #41:  The problem was that her items also contained other people's words.
         Nobody here would have objected if she only removed her own words,
         because as you say she has the right to do whatever she wants with
         them.

         However -- other people have the same rights she does, and we didn't
         want our words deleted.

I'm saying that I may do whatever I wish with my own words. I'm also
saying the creator of an item may delete my words if s/he chooses to
delete the entire item. S/he may not selectively go through an item and
delete my posts, and no one else's, without my permission. I think that
is totally reasonable.
Aren't items deleted all the time, or at least with some regularity? Why
weren't they an issue?

Because they are usually deleted with a warning and with input from the public

And they aren't deleted regularly.

Re #51:  A lot of people don't agree that the person who starts an item
         should have the right to delete the entire item.  Once others have
         posted, the item is a group work, and is not their property any
         more.

         And no, they aren't deleted with any regularity.

Another good reason to move to modern, open-source software.

My dad (a former staff member) wrote me an email:

It's a poor implementation - regardless of its intended purpose.
