I want to delete a reminder or meeting from my calendar without notifying the
other people that I originally sent it to.

I could do this in Outlook 2003, but I can't figure out how to do it in 2007
 
Previously, it was possible to delete an appointment without sending a
notificaiton resulting in you showing "attending" on other people's pcs,
while your calendar shows that time as free. It is no longer possible; the
deletion now removes you as an antendee in the meeting. What was even worse
was an organizer changing the time of deleting it without sending an update!

If you're not using exchange, I think they should still let you do this, but
that's my opinion.

Meeting updates A person who creates a meeting can no longer change the
time or location of the meeting without sending an update. Similarly, an
organizer can no longer cancel a meeting or send a cancellation request
without sending an update. However, a meeting organizer can still change the
body, subject line, and reminder time without sending an update.
 
I soemtimes set up a meeting that I then cannot attend, but expect the guys
to go ahead without me. I cannot delete it from my diary without deleting it
from everyone else's. OK, let them know I wion't be there, but delete it -
that's Microsoft not understanding how we use their product (and how people
sometimes need to work).

Try this: create another calendar folder and move the event you won't be
attending to the second calendar. Delete the second calendar folder.
 
What's needed is one of those 'are you sure you want to do this' dialogs, not
a unilateral 'you cannot do this, we've decided what's best practice'
