Conundrum

No, what I'm trying to do is explain that I didn't make the OP to piss anyone off on purpose, nor did I do that with the second thread, yet I'm still getting attitude. I don't see how I "challenged" anyone, I was asking why to get clarification on if it was my post or something that happened within it. Why is it such a big deal to ask for clarification on something? I never "questioned" the authority of the mods or HH or anyone, just asked for some clarity. Why is that so taboo?

What was wrong with what I posted this time? :confused:

Happy Birthday!

A lot of these "questions" are from people who intentionally started a thread that they knew was going to get deleted, just so they could start a thread to ask why their post was deleted (as if they didn't know) and continue to whine about the moderators. Seems like childishness to me. Perhaps this thread is an exception, as it seemed to be an honest question, but most of the "why was my post deleted"-type threads just seem to be trying to challenge the moderators. At least that's how it looks from my perspective. **clap** In my defense, and in all honesty, the recent thread of mine that was deleted was not made knowing it would be deleted. I was suprised when it went missing. I didn't know if it was the thread itself or something someone said in the thread or what. So, I made a post asking for clarification and instead of an answer, it got trashed as well. I wasn't bitching or whinning or griping about anything, I was really wondering what caused it to be deleted. THEN I startd bitching with the 'wow' thread because it was a little irritating to have a question totally ignored. Even when I've PM'd a mod specifically asking why something was deleted instead of making a thread, THAT also gets ignored. I think that's a bit childish. Anyway, I'm not trying to rub anyone the wrong way, just explaining my position on recent events.

Sweet!

And a woman who would trust a man to hold a purse may have some major secutiry issues. Just a thought. I don't follow...

I agree.

I don't like talking on the phone either. Send me a text.

My husband has no problem holding my purse for me. A man that does has got to have some major insecurity issues or something.

Awesome!

Slander is spoken. I think the word you're looking for is libel.

Seriously? Wow.

Why does it matter what other boards I post at? Is it a matter of you not believing what I'm saying? I assure you I am not lying. And besides, the only reason I even mentioned the other boards was to validate why I think this board is heavily moderated, and it is, compared to what I'm used to.

That's what I understood. So can you name some other message boards you use? I'd love to see what their rules look like and maybe chat to their admins to find out how they do it. I'd prefer not to name them actually. We don't really have any rules over there, it's basically anything goes, enter and post at your own risk. Find out how they do it? I'm not understanding what you mean. Do what?

Really? Can you name some of the other forums you use here? I would love check them out. I wasn't talking about other forums here. Maybe I should have said "message boards".

Of the forums I use, this is the most moderated, so I guess the views of what 'heavy handed" might be is subjective.

Something awesome.

I know a certain someone who is frequently bitching about all of this. I'd like to just cut and paste it everytime I read her whining. Thanks Billvon. That'll show her! w00t!

Days Go By - Jason Wade It's a recent discovery of mine and I love it.

Which one is that, then? Sign up for a Premier membership and you'll find out. I already did that once. Was it everything you ever dreamed of and more?

Actually, despite the oft-repeated mantra around here this site is neither "HH's house" nor "free". You, me, everyone pays for their bandwidth (*). I am currently typing into a web form that has a flash advertisement loaded at the top of the page which was loaded using my bandwidth and therefore my dollars. You, reading this comment, are likely looking at a similar ad paid for with your bandwidth dollars. This effectively makes this site "not free". Those ads are there because collectively our eyeballs are a valuable commodity. Other people are selling that commodity for us and reaping the benefits of that sale (as a condition of being a site member). This, combined with the paid-account option, clearly and legally delineate our relationship to the site as "customer to business" not "guest in a home". Have some fun googling around the definitions in the Uniform Commercial Code, various state laws, various international laws, and in particular the case-law surrounding all of the boundary conditions related to online communities (hint, not much there which means a whole lotta gray area). (*) bandwidth charges "per MB" or "monthly flat rate" or "quota based" are irrelevant technicalities, you pay for bandwidth regardless of how it happens to be billed today *applause*

WOW! Is one of the benefits of premier membership unlimited bitching?! Cool! We do have a special forum for our problems. But I've never tried unlimited bitching in there. BRB. Report back your findings. We'll wait. She's going to the Women's forum, huh? Could be. There is plenty of bitching in there.

I see . . . What would you want put on my shell? I have no clue.

I could think of a few things. After all, I did just get a new webcam.

Yeah, but the clean up of a deceased body on an airplane can be messy and very expensive. Step 1. Open door below 10,000 ft. Step 2. Push body out. Step 3. Close the door. hahahahahah wtf
