Seriously now. There were tons of Goldmine material in these threads. I'd like to know what the Ke$ha happened.

For once, I almost want to sympathize with the authoritarian brutes and their deletion tactics. There are too many of these "letters" all over the board... and none of them are funny.

We tend to be bingers around here, and the mods are members of the temperance union, so well, you should not be surprised when they close the saloon down.

The threads were like Jerry Lewis.  Only funny to people who speak English as a second language and senior citizens (Gramps, Torie).

Whether they were funny or not is not the point. There is nothing in the world that justifies their deletion.

F you you little punk you.  I'm not even eligible for social security, and beyond that, just why did you infer I found the threads a jocular joy?  Haven't you noticed that I only go orgasmic over well crafted prose, like Anvik puts up?  Tongue

I don't know about the others, but the one to Rochambeau's parents certainly violated the hell out of the ToS. I am sure we can think of better ways to spend our time than to bully the guy.

No, Roch enjoys being banged actually. He probably saved the entire thread for his reading pleasure for all posterity.

I support the mods' repressive and no doubt illegal actions in this case.

Agreed.  Captain Buzzkill probably deleted it.   How about you and I pony up what it takes to have his world professionally rocked for a night.  Wink

Sounds like a plan. Pity I don't like Bakersfield.

I take offense to this. I don't wish to be lumped in with the peddlers of poor humour just because they also happen to not have English as their first language. We're not all like that!

If you people don't like something, don't read it! It's that simple, but some people like to make issues out of simple crap

I deleted the Christine O'Donnell one and the Bachmann one because they were way too sexually explicit.  The others, I didn't touch and haven't heard anything from Mikado saying he did either.

How come the moderators never touched that when it was active, but it was deleted when it was bumped?

Touched what when it was active but when it was bumped?  We just got done with a special event at work, so quite honestly, I really hadn't been paying attention much for the past week or so, and had a backlog of reporrted posts.

The Christine O'Donnell letter. It was active during the late 2010 campaign season, then forgotten and bumped several days ago. Upon being bumped, it was deleted even though the thread was tolerated during its period of real activity.

To be honest, I didn't know it was that old.  I don't remember seeing it during the campaign, and didn't check the timestamp (although it did strike me as a bit odd that it was that long already).

So, to answer your original question, it's because I didn't see it - I can't speak for Mikado, but that was the first I noticed it.
