Moderator why did you remove the Cecil the Lion thread????

It was about the MN dentist Walter Palmer who killed Cecil the lion. No one was fighting on it.

Why would you remove it?

Just keep going back pages - it's there. Just buried, which is more than I can say for that poor lion.

I was searching for a thread about this. I do t dare post my full opinion because it is a thread closer for sure. I will just say who,what monster would even go on a hunt to kill anything like that?? I feel sickened.

I think it happens when the moderator is reviewing a thread. It goes offline. One of the moderators was listed as the last post even though she didn't write anything.

To the moderators, thank you for keeping the other thread up and letting us discuss this heinous act and mourn the death of Cecil.

actually, there is a post there that is totally unkind and argumentative and it is still there, whereas posters who responded to that comment got their posts removed.

I am not sure why that poster's inflammatory and sarcastic post is still up there

The removal of posts seems pretty random.

yes, it looks like it is all squared away now. Perhaps the mods were going thru and trying to find them all? It is difficult when the original post is quoted several times.

Okay. Yes, maybe that's why it was offline for a bit.

Mine was removed 3 times and I kept reposting. It looks like Yelp! has realized they can't fight a tsunami.

For those of you interested in wildlife here is a link to WildEarth. They do live safari drives twice a day, 9:00 am EST and 12:30 am EST. The presenters are very knowledgeable as they show the animals in their natural habitat, the African bush.

I have thought about this, cried about it, and tried to understand it all day.

Sometimes it seems there is just no justice at all.
