I've Been Caught Correcting a Mistake

I don’t think it’s good policy to edit what was actually posted, even if you changed you mind and regret the content. Better to explain that you’ve changed your mind over time and accept the criticism for so doing. You’ll get more flack for a perceived cover up than from the acknowledgment that you changed your opinion.

I disagree. If I find a mistake in a post, no matter how old it is, I reserve the right to correct that mistake — just like I’d correct a mistake in something I posted 10 minutes ago.

It was a mistake to call Rauf an “Islamic supremacist,” and I corrected it. I don’t see anything wrong with this.
