I don't think I argue about rights anywhere, here...? Of course it's your right to remove things. I don't think the OP said it wasn't either. Just that she found it annoying and insulting.
And we completely agree on cyberspace being different from "real" space, which is pretty much my point. You can burn every hard copy of a book you can get your hands on in real space, and wipe its existance off the face of the earth. But it is very naive to think you can do the same with information shared online. Once you let go of it into the big www, it's *not* yours anymore, simply because there's no way to take it back.
