I wasn't around for any of the Narlock stuff, and I'm not entirely familiar with what you're referring to, so I'll defer on that one.
This log was a valid and interesting log of a roleplayed interaction. If someone comes off poorly in a log whose purpose is to show a roleplayed event, well, that's not grounds for deleting the post, sorry. I'm not saying anyone did necessarily come off poorly in this log, mind you.
Now, in this case, the author has an obvious agenda, however, and his comments were character assassination, or intended as such. Normally, that's grounds for deletion. So, why didn't I delete the log? Because what the author accomplished was a thorough job of self-assassination via the aimless mean-spiritedness interspersed with sycophancy that pepper the log. So rather than have him repost the log without the comments, it's just as well to let him shoot himself in the foot for all to see.
