Mord's Meltdown
 

While I totally respect his right to do as he wishes, my attention was drawn to Mord's journal, and the fact that EVERY ENTRY IN IT HAS BEEN DELETED BY HIM. Does anyone know why this happened? Did he contact anyone? Any mod? I would hate to think someone did something that upset or annoyed him so much that he felt he had to erase all trace of himself here.

Of course, there are plenty of valid theories, feel free to add your own:

1. He joined some new cult which forbids the discussion of music
2. he's working for the CIA/NSA/Walmart and has to erase all evidence of his former identity
3. It was a spell Ked cast that went horribly wrong
4. As he long feared, his computer achieved sentience and decided to delete his journal, for reasons best known to itself
5. Batty hacked into his account and deleted his journal "for the lulz" and also because Ked would not respond to his sexual advances
6. He went mad
7. He went home to his own planet
8. He sleeptypes, and this was the disastrous result
9. He came to his senses, realised he is living in the Matrix, that we are all computer constructs and so his work was worthless

Any more? Anyone seriously any idea why he took this seemingly rather drastic step? I thought he was just taking a break and would be back at some point. Why waste all the work he put into that journal?

All foreigners in Japan eventually lose their ****.

Maybe he had to commit seppuku and needed to set his affairs in order beforehand, one of those being to erase his journal? Maybe it was an "Unperson" sort of deal?

****ing KNEW it was Obama's fault!

There was/is someone at my old forum who had a habit of deleting her poems when she was upset about something. She's a pretty sensitive sort. It could be possible Mord is the sensitive type as well.

Yeah I could understand that but a) who or what pissed him off? He seemed to leave on good terms and b) why not just ask for his journal to be deleted, instead of going through nearly a hundred pages of entries and replacing each one with a dot? The time taken even to highlight an entry, hit return and type in a dot, and then save, god knows how many hundred times, surely does not seem a good way to do it.

Either he's got a bad depression or he wanted to turn his journal into some weird piece of modern digital art. Those are my best guesses.

It's possible he thought they wouldn't delete his journal. A lot of forums have a policy that they don't delete posts.

Well, I think with a little bit of kindergartner-lite detective work
checking dates and after-leave comments it may be pretty easy
to ascertain the reason(s).
{you can tell that it only took about 90 minutes to erase them}.

Always worth asking.
Would you spend an hour and a half doing that? I wouldn't.
Also: spill if you know, or have guessed. Was it to do with the comments left by Batty and myself?
