Re: Wow webbie, an interesting discussion/debate with no name calling and you deleted it? Can you tell us why?

I thought it was common knowledge here that independent posters CAN and DO ""poof"" threads. I've seen it done time and time again. I also know certain posters who can and have done it.

All you have to be is a little tech savvy about computers.

I despise people who ""take the law in their own hands !!!! "" for their gain.

I posted there late last night and although the whole thread was what I might call "spirited", it wasn't "Mean-spirited", it was a debate with differing opinions and information. I saw it up until about 2:30 a.m. and there was nothing I thought should have caused it to be taken down at that point ... it was well over 200 replies.


It amazes me that one person can take offense and have an entire thread removed.

Thin skinned people should not be on forums.

Hi, golfcartrider! I seriously doubt "one person" can have a thread removed -- unless you mean the "one person" is the moderator, or perhaps the originator of the thread (I've heard of people reporting their own thread, hoping to have it deleted).

Hi dooBdoo, one person can start the chain reaction of others following.

I have reported my own threads in hopes of getting deleted when it starts going in the wrong direction

When politics or religion comes into play you can bet the thread will be deleted.

Politics, yes. Religion, no. Among Friends sub-forum is mainly for Catholics.

Unfortunately, due the the climate of the country, health care has become political. That being said, it is sad that citizens don't want to know the facts (not opinions). If someone disagrees with, or offers more information to help people make their own, informed decision, it isn't allowed. It wasn't a mean-spirited thread at all. As is the norm here, it is the poster, not the post. cheers! chum

I only read yesterday afternoon, it must have gotten political after that point.

A lot of good info was on that thread.

Nope...didn't happen.

Well we did get a lecture on socialism lol

Nope didn't happen you are re-writing history.

Nope.Maybe you didn't see it (I'm not going to insult you like you just did me) but Baddestdog told us we were on the road to socialism. Kiss

Hi, voyager! I saw the post you referred to. It was on the last page I was reading, and I was sort of sitting on my hands, trying to decide whether to jump in and debate the definition of socialism ... then Webbie took care of it for me.{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Ding, ding!!

It's ironic that the OP is the one who went off and has no clue how that happened.

Voyager...now you quit re-writing history, ya hear? LOL

Exactly. Op was the most aggressive in trashing the system. Poor Terrier was trying to offer her professional expertise but couldn't get through for all the "opinions".

Hi, Qlady! I'd love to know what you think happens, because I've spent years in IT and I know of no way to achieve this feat you describe. I have to respectfully disagree with your comment that a poster can remove a post or a thread.

The information provided by the OP, of this thread, was factual. It just didn't jive with what some others posters wanted to believe. chum
