(...) I find it interesting that you describe it this way because murfling was never meant to be the same as cancelling or deleting a post. The idea is that questionable posts are visibly separated but still accessible - in essence, a compromise (...) (19 years ago, 12-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
