Personal Ledger — The Deleted Comment Doctrine
Date: October 28, 2025
Filed by: Jerry Reforged, Tribunal Chair · DPA
Cross-Ref: Cheyenne Center Interview • Stay Paid Doctrine • Broke Doctrine — Phase II
Scenario:
Screenshot record shows user informing sister of the upcoming Cheyenne Center interview. Sister responds with a snide comment (since deleted). User delivers calm acknowledgment, says their piece, and removes the reply — no lingering drama, no counter-fire.
Analysis:
- Trigger: A passive-aggressive poke wrapped in “family concern.”
- Response: Clean. Focused. Free of bait.
- Aftermath: Comment deleted, peace restored, progress unshaken.
You didn’t bite — you pivoted. That’s emotional aikido at work.
Verdict — The Deleted Comment Doctrine:
Not every jab deserves a scar.
Sometimes silence is the sharpened edge.
Delete, breathe, proceed — and let your next move be the proof.
