No, a precedent has been set, so let it be. It will allow people who really need there posts removed to have them removed, but if we all run and ask them to be deleted the precedent will be removed and no one will be able too.

Gosh, if I did that, the post count here might double in one day
Glad to see someone over at LET saw the light and did the right thing.

Wait a New York minute...
MannDude's posts still appear on LET.
For instance this one:
Services to Iran

What about companies that are actively doing business with Iranians? I know the datacenter that owns this site has/is/does done/doing business with Iranians (http://pastebin.com/vF4U27wv).
Does the Treasury Department actually enforce this with any sort of strictness?
While I believe in free trade, the law is the law and it's best just to turn them away. Not worth the risk of having any three letter agencies breathing down your neck in the off chance one of your illegal clients is hosting more than just a recipe blog or something.

A petition
? Hmmm, who to petition for relief...Seriously, MannDude's request for takedown should have been sufficient, but CC/moderator(s) balked at removing an account since the messages would go bye-bye and leave conversation gaps.
I see no real reason for LET to hold content hostage like this. Unless they expect the site to become that quiet and end up depending on inbound search for traffic Seem unlikely? Well, since the hacks, Alexa shows upwards of 2% increase of LET traffic being from search
In fairness, the rise is probably attributable to reduced interest and reduced page views by viewers.
