omg remove posts about me! (Score:1)

I have to agree with nicholas---there's no reason to remove anything. If the facts are, well, facts, then they should be upset that they put themselves in this sort of situation. If they're not, it's too bad, but sometimes the internet contains information that isn't true. (No, really.)

I don't understand that reaction ("omg remove posts about me!"), but I hear about it a lot. There is no more wretched hive of scum and villainy than the internet, and the fact that people are capable of getting frothed up over little things like this is silly.

That said, I'd probably be pissed if googling for "Ricardo Signes" turned up a mailing list of old professors talking about how much I sucked.
