Hey pal, (and all that would make this argument) if you got into a debate with someone and then had an IMM jump in to delete your replies constantly- some of which were explaining ideas or defending yourself, you would be pissed far before I was.
I only deleted your flames. I left intact anything that pertained to the topic of the thread. Which was honestly a mistake. As I said previously, it is actually standard procedure to delete the entire text rather than try to weed the flames out of valid content.
The reasons: 1) It saves time for the moderator. 2) It eliminates any claim of selective editing. 3) It forces the flamer to avoid flaming in any post that they actually want people to read.
The only reason I violated these guidelines was to give your topic a personal response, because you requested immortal input. I've been reminded once again why our normal procedure is smarter.

You are actually in awe of the players not the characters. Trust me, these are the kind of guys that can make any character into someone compelling. When their current character is dead, they can make a fresh and new compelling character that will add more depth and an exciting new legacy to the game instead of constantly rehashing the same old stories.
