This is such a drama queen "controversy."
But...but....but.......Perlman is destroying everything.
lol
How do you be "not angered, just saddened" and then throw shade on "3rd floor" who isn't even involved in this decision.
If wiping out records and players of the last 10-15 years helps eliminate drama going forward, drama that we've lived through for the last 10-15 years, count me in that group.
Yeah, always a smart approach...

The Soviet Union
The most common examples of photograph alteration and falsification come from communist Russia. Unwanted persons, so-called "enemies of the people" were not only killed, but also removed from photographs where their presence was unwanted. Photographs were altered with the intent of changing the past.
Leon Trotsky was a close friend of Lenin, and shared his idealistic ideas about the communist state. In the following photographs he can be seen together with Lenin.
The next set of images are nearly identical, however Trotsky is removed from both photographs.
The historical reason for this alteration is that Stalin eventually began to see Trotsky as a threat and labeled him an "enemy of the people". After he was deported from the Soviet Union in 1929, Trotsky critisized Stalin's leadership, arguing that the dictatorship Stalin exercised was based on his own interests, rather than those of the people. This contributed substantially to Trotsky's removal from photographs and history.
Nikolai Yezhov, chief of the Soviet secret police, suffered a fate similar to that of Trotsky. For some time he was close to Stalin, staging the infamous Moscow frame-trials, where innocent people were forced to confess crimes against Stalin and the Soviet Union, and were consequently executed. In the photograph below, he can be seen walking together with Stalin.
In the modified photograph below, it is as though he had never existed
