An old political post of mine is still being shared, but I no longer hold that view
PoliticsSomeone linked my old post with "You explained it perfectly." I read it and winced.
I had argued that public funding for political parties should be rejected in every form. I still have concerns, but I now think the question depends on the arrangement, its oversight and what it is meant to replace. The old post doesn't leave room for any of that.
A friend says I should delete it before someone uses it against me. Another says an archive ought to show what I believed at the time. I don't think I owe the internet a permanent version of every opinion, but I also don't want current readers to mistake that piece for my current position.
Would a dated note above it be a better response than deleting it? What should the note explain if I haven't reached a settled view on the alternative yet?
