I used it mostly for the practical value: I wanted continuous discussion. I am a mad busy human being and could barely keep punctual and up to date as it was (and as you saw, I disappeared from life for an entire day cycle by accident). I knew if I let there be edits, I'd have to go through to look for lists and stuff. It was simply easier to know that the most recent was the most recent when it came to anything.

I also knew it would make everybody put more thought into what they were posting, if they knew they couldn't even spell-check edit it later on. When there are no take-backs, you compose more prettily the first time.

And I knew it would annoy everybody.

But mostly it was because I was strapped for time, short on sleep, about to go on break, and wanted to simplify.
