There's a difference between making up false personals about largely anonymous opponents and removing any and all facts from shit that actually happened on this site to make punches. Unless you pissed Rohan off or have your personal email on your profile, nobody can verify personal info without you discussing it yourself in the forums or chatbox....who knows what's fake? Stuff that pertains to LB, if its not true and can be verified by the reader before they vote...being able to speak up and refute that should be allowed.
