< Clearing conversations, why is it offensive?
"Offensive" isn't the word I'd use, but I can see how I might feel it was rude.
To be frank, I really really wish I *did* have transcripts of my conversations with friends even from in-person. I have a garbage memory and it's really embarrassing that I blithely start retelling stories to the same person -- or refer to something major in my life that they never knew about! Just using encrypted messaging where I can't neatly search the full history already hampers my habit of trying to check if I've said something before. I know most people wouldn't, but....
I can't imagine blocking someone if they cleared a message archive, but I would expect it to be mentioned -- like "ah, nothing's up, I'm just tidying my message histories" or "oh dang, sorry, hit that by accident".
I get this. I think I'm beginning to come around on the issue but yeah, I've apologized and explained to several people who proceeded to block me.
