A diary just appeared about the Isreali intelligence service and Bush leaking intel, then disappeared again.
Because someone posted a rather sharp comment that it had already been done.
The original poster indicated it was their first diary, and I for one feel that a bit more kindness could have been expressed. It is entirely possible that they did not see the previous diary because of the time it took to read the rules and do their first diary. The time difference was only 15 minutes.
A diary I did yesterday was separately posted just now. In response I added a comment that we had discussed the topic yesterday, and a link to the diary. This way current readers can go and review the comments from yesterday as well as today. But I do not want today's poster to take their diary down, because they have reopended discussion on an important topic-John Edwards interview with Wolf Blitzer.
We need to be fostering free speech, and encouraging those who are new to posting diaries.
