The Lesson Of The Deleted Threads

22 replies
Deleted threads are like life itself...

Sometimes we know why...and often times we have no inkling why. And no explanation is forthcoming from the moderators. Pretty frustrating, I know. Just like when things happen and we don't know why and we question God, or whoever or whatever it is you believe (or don't believe) in.

"WHY?!?"

And the heavens are silent.

We are then left with 3 possible options.

1. Scream and whine -- "It's unfair!" -- blame the whole world and refuse to participate anymore.

2. Take in in stride, accept the pain, embrace it, understand it and move on with life.

3. Lie down and die

In a forum, things may happen exactly like that. As the sayings go, "Life Happens" and "Sh*t Happens".

How you react/respond is up to you. Just like Life.

Now, shall we dance?

        LOL!

        I started to write a detailed response to a thread earlier today and about halfway through I realized the thread was headed for nukeville so I stopped writing.

        Half an hour later the thread was gone. I'm getting pretty good at guessing which ones stay and which ones go.

          Heh...

          We should get Allen to start a betting pool. Members then bet on which threads and even posts stay and which go.

          How can you tell? They probably have their reasons in which we do not realize, obviously, but I do wish they would explain. I am new to this forum, so I am glad to have a heads up! You can always post more, but if we knew the reasons they get deleted, we could prevent it.

        I guess my reply was too subtle. See, your post was very logical and
        Nimoy played Mr Spock on Star Trek and Spock was very logical and...

        Oh, never mind.

          Me, logical? Nooooooo....I've always thought of myself as a Romantic. Poetic. Kooky even, but never logical. Hmmm...
