MODS: Editing posts?

Locked down threads after 72 hours is good and bad.
It certainly stops people from "switching allegiances" after a party is found guilty of a crime in a court.
There have been a rash of "post conviction" stance changes about certain people in the last few months and locking down old posts keeps people honest about who they back up publicly and what they say about others.
Lots of guys got a lot of crap about their positions from long standing members able to gang up on them because they might have held an view unpopular with the popular people.
Same popular crew gets to go back and rewrite history after the fact when in fact they should be eating crow.
A few of the outstanding gentlemen here cop to it, move on - and others start rewriting history- hence a change in policy.
I have noticed some posts can also mysteriously change without an edit flag showing up as well - Hmmmmm

Goggle never forgets and now OSO doesn't either. Say what you have to say but it will become part of the record. No more covering up those drunken rants about your wifes boobs.
