"a little anomalous behavior in this case was acceptable"
So the author is responsible if some deem "little" as "too much"?
Illogical.

If the "little" behavior is multipled by being done hundreds of times,
and thereby becomes "too much", and the author did it hundreds of times
for the express purpose of annoying people in order to beat a dead
horse, then yes.

Let's break this down. The "little" behavior was a one time thing unless
you're saying that somehow I populated Grex with hundreds of responses in the
sum of one day(which I did not).
If I delete all my responses in one day after years of posting, that makes
means I'm doing it "for the express purpose of annoying people in order to
beat a dead horse"?
I find the analysis of the behavior a spin from the real complaint that there
is "a little anomalous behavior in this case was acceptable".

This was not a one-time thing; you have repeatedly run scribble scripts,
which slow the system down, scribble your items, and produce mild
annoyance due to PicoSpan timestamp issues or people who now have
difficulty following conversations in items where your content has been
removed. I have no idea what your point is with the "entering hundreds
of responses in one day" part so I'll ignore it.
Yes, based on the information available, I feel the most reasonable
conclusion is that you run scribble scripts for the express purpose of
annoying people in order to beat a dead horse. If you can honestly say
that you have some other primary reason and you have no wish to annoy
people, then I apologize.
I agree with you that this is a bug in PicoSpan, but that seems only
peripherally relevant.

Let's get down to the point of abuse of the system and
stay there. 98% of the responses recently scribbled had already
been scribbled. That is consumeing resources beyond reasonable use.
Tod, I thought you where one for taking responsibility for
ones deeds. It is not the fault of the system. The fault is yours.

Re resp:63: Since scribbled responses are logged elsewhere, I don't
think scribbling is a net savings of disk space. In fact, since I'm not
sure the file containing the response that was scribbled is actually
shortened, it may be a net loss. (I'm not certain about that, but
removing lines from the *middle* of a long file is a time-consuming
process, so I would guess it'd be avoided.)

Quite aside from Tod's other annoyances, he's been running an idle-evader (or
worse?) script recently.

Sorry if I'm annoying everyone with my presence and interaction. I do not
apologize.

Your presence & interaction is welcome, not annoying. Your penchant for
periodic wide scribbling of your responses is "stupid" and annoying.

I've noticed that running scribble scripts nowadays doesn't seem to annoy
people as much as it used to.

Erectile disfunction is common among people with paralyzed backs, twenex.

Re: #85
It looks like the internet connection was getting flakey again...i just
rebooted the DSL modem; recent experience says that should fix the problem
for roughly 2 weeks.
