If it really means deleting to you, what's the actual difference between deleting all the entires then deleting the journal, or just deleting the journal?

Security reasons? When I delete an account I like to remove all the information tied to the account. In this case it also includes entries.

but a mass deletion tool isn't going to change who you were or be able to Eternal Sunshine cherry pick the bad times out - suck it up and go back and remove/privatize them individually

I never said it would. Bad times? Suck it up? *snorts* Stop the drama. I'm not even talking about that. I don't understand why you wouldn't want a mass delete tool when you tell me to remove all my entries individually. It doesn't make any sense to me.

you want to delete the journal, you can already do that so just delete it and move on... anything else, and you're a "special snowflake", or just outright lazy at the very least.

Uh? So I'm lazy because I don't want to remove them one by one? Is the fact that it would take me a long time supposed to mean something? Is this supposed to be some kind of special moment when I reflect on who I was and how much I've changed or haven't. Because that is ridiculous, imo. You're making this far more meaningful than it is.

ilu (In fact, I don't think I thanked you for the usericon swap out code. It's lovely.)

Oh rats, I traded out my special snowflake icon for something else.

You know LJ Migrate, which runs on Python, has a nuke all feature. Which is lucky, because sometimes you migrate a comm to InsaneJournal, find out that the posts can't be backdated and end up in the order of last edited and have to delete the whole comm because the round robin storytelling format is dependent on successive posting. Not that I'd know ANYTHING about that. :P

Anyway, it's either ask squeaky to purge it, change all 400 dates by hand, lose the comm name so that no one can ever find it, or nuke all.

In sum! Delete all is not just for special snowflakes. 8-|
