If I see the strike through I delete the post, if I catch it in time.

Its only done to troll and annoy people, adds nothing to a debate.

I must admit I have not checked for changing the content, but if I find it I will delete that post also.


Huh???????

Good idea as "Mark and Quote" can be easily used if you only really want to quote part of a post!

I use the strike through - it is valid which is the reason that it is supplied as an option if used properly.

I used it today.

True.  Vic made the Rule which both he and Setanta explained carefully enough.

'Strike through' is often used, and was first used, by peccary as a show of contempt to members who he decides post contrary to his opinion, and for no other reason.

This statement is 100% untrue. There are correct and proper usages for it. I agree that a small number of people were misusing the function.

I am deeply sorrowful to have to let you know that the strik through was in common accepted usage well before anyone named peccary was born.

This is what Vic originally said ?

Quote:
By all means use the strikethrough function if you wish to highlight some aspect of their post


I don't use it in that fashion and don't like it, would prefer to highlight or quote a copy of the words being commented on outside of the other members window.

Greg uses strike through as contempt for not being allowed to change others posts.

edit: Although it's effect on other posters seems a bonus to him.
