Everyone chill. There's no right or wrong here and we can discuss the differences without needing to tear one another down. Forums are also like card houses, and only Godzilla and mods get to erase people and... Well, this one got away from me. /backseatmodmode
The issue with allowing minor retcons all the time (if needed) is that it can completely eliminate continuity. If I make Warren snap and just start smiting the Quicksand one night and then log in the next day saying "Sorry, had a lot to drink, undo last night" I'm now impacting the RP of a LOT of people! Bystanders, people who responded, people who've never met me. We share a world, and when things happen in public it's unreasonable, in my opinion, to expect everyone to just let you rewind time to bear no consequences or see how something turns out another way instead.
No save states in my RP, please.
