On: X-rays reveal censored portions of Marie Antoinett...

Please post all the love letters you have ever written or received, without any editing. Let people enjoy stuff.

This is reductio ad absurdum and a clear strawman.

[boomboomsubban → junon]

I'm asking you to be put in basically the same situation, not an opposite one. The biggest difference is I'm asking for your permission.

My argument was never that Antoinette deserves some special privacy, so changing the subject of the act is not a strawman. Why should people enjoy someone else's private correspondence but not yours?

[junon → boomboomsubban]

I'm still alive, I haven't been dead 200 years. Do whatever you want with my private correspondence when I've been dead for 200 years.

[boomboomsubban → junon]

So you're fine with your private correspondence being public long after your death. Does it matter that von Fersen clearly wasnt? He knew his letters would be public and purposely blacked out parts.

[junon → boomboomsubban]

Sure why not. I'm dead. It has zero impact on me. It might even help historians understand our way of life, in which case by all means.

I'm not so selfish and conceited that I pretend to still care about things after death, lol.
