Somebody deleted a lot of attributions before I came on the scene.  I
wonder which is worse: deleting attributions or leaving them in after 
having deleted everything in that particular article.

Maybe text wasn't all she deleted.  But Yes, Adrienne does delete an 
awful lot of text.  Fairly recently she deleted the following text of
mine:

It's always the case (don't ask me why; after seven years on the net,
you are in a much better position to know why) that there is one MORE

Of course, your post had >>> where now there is >>>>, and my post where

again, all is as it should be.

Deleting this made the following dig at me credible in her follow-up:

explicitly state above.]

Yeah, and heap-big-math-professor that you are, you can't count, either.
The number of arrows for a quote is one MORE that the number of arrows
to the correct attribution, dimwit.  Take a good look, above.  It says
"(NO arrow) Nyikos says:
> (note arrow)  Something incredibly stupid."

The one arrow quote matches to the no arrow attribution line.

Therefore, 5-arrow "Adrienne says" does NOT line up with a 5-arrow quote.

And, as I was saying, 4-arrow "Adrienne says" does not match up with
the 4-arrow Don Beaver quote.  [The numbers are one lower because
Adrienne was following up to my post.]

But back to Adrienne and JJ Price:

No, just prevent the abortionist from killing them in the womb.

No, Adrienne, all JJP was arguing for was informed decision laws.  If 
these women abort because YOU blocked the laws, and later regret their
decision when they find out what they did, their tears and the blood
of their unborn children will be on YOUR head!!!!!!!

>Sarcasm, off.

Mine, too.

>Anybody get the feeling that we can do away with capital punishment by now?

Gee, Adrienne, are you suggesting JJP should be subjected to it?

>Jeff's favorite form of punishment, the ultimate he can think of for all

And your ultimate punishment is worse, both for JJP and the unborn children.

>OK, so *now* it's sarcasm, off.

Mine, too.

>Adrienne Regard

>PS, Dan, did you bid on this guy?

Still sarcastic?  Are you suggesting that since he is enslaving women,
he should be a slave too?
