re: #24 Charles

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.

I respectfully disagree about the nothing wrong part, although not the fact that you have the means and the right to do as you please with your blog. We can’t undo errors in judgment by editing the past IMHO, nor should we need to.
There must be 100’s of old posts with “old” opinions that your enemies will try and use against you, it’s history, it’s real, and you can correct a old opinion, but it exists.
I love this blog, and I respect Charles, but on the one issue, I disagree. In the end, it is his blog and he can do as he likes.
