Your shitty meta is not my responsibility.
Your inability to speak of other players without being a dick is not my responsibility either.

Which is what my stance acknowledges. If they say something that can be considered excessive it's probably not "game-related" to the point where you need to see it, so they can redact it. The players by all rights, should be able to redact things. Policing how they do so would be stupid. Insisting that they not is weird. Your position is rather black-and-white and I'm not equipped to articulate what I mean precisely, but someone else probably can, I'd hope.

Except it's part of the game, a written record of events that occurred involving players other than the solipsistic scum partner who doesn't want his shitty meta out there or his shitty comments.
It's more intricate than what you've generalized my arguments to, for one you think I'm trying to save people who are disrespectful (or happen to be weak scum players) which means you're already trying to doubtcast my argument. It's more complex than that. It's faulty to deal in absolutes, too. What goes on in PTs is only your business if the moderator says it is, anyway. The players in those PTs have probably put as much effort into playing to their wincon as everyone else, so if they want to redact shit then let them. If something's abusive to the point where intervention would be needed it would be dealt with otherwise and thus not be a question. If they want to redact the post where they talk about hot dogs then let them? I don't see why it's a major issue unless you have some problem relating to this that I... probably... have no concern for, considering I think the game is fine the way it is and I don't think the way PTs work so far have been any problem, unless there's a convincing reason you WANT to know everything everyone says because one hundred percent knowledge of the full raw gamestate is absolutely essential. Which I can say I would then disagree with.
