NodeReaper only takes nodes automatically when the node has a negative reputation *and* no replies. It is possible for janitors to clean up large messes; however, they've recently agreed (I think) to avoid doing that when there are good replies that would be orphaned.

As of this writing, the node has had its Approval revoked, so it won't been seen immediately by the unwary. It will not appear on the index pages unless folks have activated their Show Unmoderated Content setting.

I agree that certain things were said that shouldn't have been. I believe that certain monks should meditate on the progress of the thread and the reactions of those that posted.

Furthermore, I hope that our recently returned prodigal will continue to remain and share with those that focus on the contents of the package, not its wrapping.
