It's your blog, delete what you want.

On the other hand, if your aim was to deny the oxygen of publicity to Violet Blue, that would appear to have been an almighty fail.

You might consider, next time you disappear someone, just deactivating all the hotlinks in the relevant posts and sticking the pages in robots.txt or equivalent.

I have the Breville Spectra kettle, which also has the blue when cold, red when boiling thing, plus a keep-warm setting (I've never used it, but I suspect tis essential for bottle-feeding mums). But I mostly love it because it does a colour-changing LED light show in the kitchen whenever it's on standby. A kettle with standby mode. Can't be good for the planet but it makes me smile every time I walk into the kitchen.

Kettles are universal in Britain, with 240V electricity, but the argument's not so clear in the US. My kettle boils in about a minute flat and I could not possibly live without it.
