Authority: a good suggestion. In many chats (as opposed to blogs) when an administrator adopts an official role in a chat, a star is self-attached to their nick. They then become a 'sheriff', and can 'ice' chatters for fixed periods of time to deal with flooding and repeated bad ettiquette, remove inactive chatters who are preventing other entering the chat etc. It is a useful convention for moderators.
General rules: The recent bust-ups are probably to do with the season. My guess is they will fade into the New Year. You can't be me, I'm taken
Diary Deletions: I prefer the compromise: diarists should be able to delete the content of their diary itself, but not the comments. That may lead to some strange hanging threads, but....
To change that involves entering a world of pain (PERL source code). We have met the enemy, and he is us — Pogo
Perhaps this is a good thing?
In the mean time also, perhaps we need to recognize that our front pagers are also human and like all humans are sometimes fallible. And for that matter so are we.

Perhaps a couple of keystrokes or if it is a particularly rough day maybe:
This is some text. It has a right to be here.

The published diary was a whole other thing (and had a picture of Baloo and King Louie dancing!--I think it was this picture or thereabouts:)
When I decided to get rid of the content, I hit edit, that opened my diary. I deleted all the original content, added two pictures, clicked Save, and that was that. Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
