That is interesting indeed, because the tittle of the thread is "UC3 Nautilus has sunk - Madsen rescued - charged with murder of journalist".

At that point it wasn't clear that someone had actually died.

Really?...If nobody actually died yet, why would there be someone charged with murder? The tittle of Oberon's thread is "UC3 Nautilus has sunk - Madsen rescued - charged with murder of journalist".

The title was changed as events unfolded. The original topic title did not mention murder as there was no indication of it at that time. This whole issue is a non-issue and unnecessary.

[Onkel Neal]

Easy there. I changed thread title several days after the thread was started.

And to be sure, the charge of murder came before any of the basis for the charge was out in the open. Europeans are closer to the vest with information than we are in the US. Often it keeps the innocent from being convicted. Many times it results in the conviction of someone who would be found not guilty in the US.

We've seen the injustice that can happen when cases are tried in the press, which has no stock in the truth, only sales means anything to them.

I think this illustrates the risks of changing posts after people have read them. Perhaps if this is done there should be some explanatory text added to the post to make it clear that the post has changed.

I think there is a presumption that posts remain unchanged unless otherwise notified.

IMHO, if the title is changed afterwards, it would be a good idea to add some text to the first post to explains this for example:

EDIT: Title edited by Onkel Neal on [insert date] or [because reason x]

Though, honestly I think biosthetique simply did not read enough of the thread.

I think that when a journalist is killed it is an issue, as it is unnecessary to kill journalist.

Now if the title was updated as events unfolded how come it did not read "Nautilus sunk and raised". In the title it just says "SUNK".

This whole issue is an issue and necessary to remind us the value of journalism and in any country of the world.

So, you based a whole argument against Oberon on the title of the thread, and when told the title had been changed, rather than apologize you complain that it wasn't changed the way you would have done it. What was the point of the tirade against another member in the first place?

It looks to me like you were wrong and just don't want to admit it.

[Onkel Neal]

Yes. No one is dismissing the tragedy or excusing Madsen. Oberon posted his comments before there was any info about the journalist. I changed the thread title. Your appropriate response should be, "Oh, I understand now".
