An excellent idea. as I do grow weary of reading claims of censorship on certain sites which can't be proved.

Our particular Troll had the nasty habit of pretending that all his "important political comments" had been deleted because they did not fit the political opinions of a given blog.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/006871.html">It is rather hard to prove that you didn't censor a comment for political reasons but for reasons of netiquette, if the comment doesn't exist anymore. Comments which are only disemvowelled can still be identified for what they are, ranting spam usually.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6C5D32E1-B3C4-4EEE-84B6-E2E98FD16402/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
