What's a postie? When did they appoint you board police person? What's it got to do with patriotism?

Melting, maybe you could explain just a little bit? I think by postie you are referring to whom many call webbie, as in the Q person(s) who sometimes monitor?

Posties = postal employees? Or maybe an abbreviation for Post Toasties?

Yes excuse me,webbie.sorry This is about an earlier thread that was on here today that is now closed for comment. Many,many posts within the conversation were deleted. And I found it quite disturbing that the MANY that we're deleted we're kind,thoughtful& honest debate! And the snarky,condescending ones were left in. What does it have to do with patriotism? I used the word unAmerican, not patriotism for a reason. We need more voices in this world not less. Especially when the ones deleted were helping and honest. If the thread was not appropriate them delete it,picking and choosing I find not right,very telling . I've been reading these boards for many years before I ventured on and the constant censorship is disheartening. They have the right to delete a thread not following the guide lines fine,do the whole thread!

I think I know what thread she is referring to and there was a lot of snark and name-calling deleted before it was closed for commenting. The kind, helpful posts are pretty much still there.

I missed the thread. But if one half of the argument was deleted and not the other, melting has a point that needs to be heard.

It was one of those NILS (Name In Lights Syndrome) posts about leaving the cold, cruel world of the Q forum. She said it was due to her political opinion.

The thread was a poster's swan song because she feels bullied and attacked because she is a conservative.

I so very much wanted to respond, but it was closed by the time I saw it. But she is still ranting on another thread, so I did submit a short comment.

The problem, though, OP, is that this site is privately owned, and we are their guests. There is no presumption of freedom of speech, and they can delete anything they wish to delete.

Personally, although I know that some like the "closed to comments" feature because then no can spin what was said, I think it's silly. Either leave it open or poof the whole darn thing. JMO.

Please forgive me everyone, but yes that was my point. I understand the monitoring system, they are a business and that is there right. I just felt all of it should of gone not some of it, and there were ALOT deleted. I followed it closer today than usually(in bed w/flu) or I wouldn't of even seen it.

Thanks If a thread has that many negative comments, the whole thing should have been removed.

Hope you get better quickly, melting.

The thread was actually in violation of the Standards here, so it should have been pulled at the beginning anyway. Not only was it political, but also it was clearly a rallying call for divisiveness and fighting.

I do agree that once the comments start getting personal, which of course they would given the opening post, it's time to shut it down. I personally found it to be very insulting and rude.
