Regarding inflammatory comments on comments pages
Hi. Just to note, I've reverted your edit here. Please note that we don't remove posts just because they're inflammatory; comments pages are intended to be used for people to provide opinions, even if they are extreme (as this post was). It wouldn't be fair to censor out certain people's views. The only reason we'd remove a post from a comment page if it was vandalism, or trolling clearly unrelated to the topic. Thanks for your understanding. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk]  04:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know. I was unsure at first of whether to remove the comment or not, and only decided in favour of doing so when I saw the "please refrain from offensive or inflammatory comments" notice at the top of the Opinions page. I will not make any similar edits in the future. Cheers. WhalersOnTheMoon (talk) 04:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries. The commentary template is indeed a bit confusing, it might be a good idea to add a note along the lines of "please don't remove inflammatory comments unless they're vandalism" to avoid this happening in the future. Cheers and happy editing. Tempodivalse [talk]  16:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The sentence ends 'where possible'. In certain controversies, any view is inflamatory. As Tempo says, though, no worries; it isn't as clear a template as I'd like either and it wasn't exactly a huge mistake. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 18:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
