    I deleted a thread yesterday that had turned into an argument. Maybe you started the thread, or maybe you posted somewhere in it. It is nothing against you. It is just faster to delete one whole thread than it is to delete or clean up objectionable posts.None of this stuff lasts forever anyway. If left alone, it will eventually fall off the bottom.nunn

    SXSMAN; What rise?? If I was trying for a "rise", I could do a whole lot better.I think you read it, and I thiught it was funny.If somebody started arguing over it, not my fault.

    Ain't a damn thing you can do about it, ladr. Had a nice one going last week that went away. Lots of good stuff and obviously there was a lot of interest. Last time I had looked there were about 120 or so posts. Then nothing. No telling what lurks in the...It does get discouraging though, I know.Clouder..

    Clouder, What gets me is I like this board and keep coming here.I think of some of the threads I was on THAT should have got POOFED and did not. That is what confuses me.

    A long time ago, I spent about every Thursday in Municipal Court in a small town in Arkansas. The judge was an old lawyer. He was fond of saying, "They don't pay me to call 'em right, but they do pay me to call 'em."Okay?

    nunn:That sounds like an Arkansas judge. My question, do you think that an admirable credo? (Credo: a code or ethic a person lives their life by, a guiding principle.)Clouder..

    There is such a thing as absolute right, just as there is absolute wrong. Then there are matters of opinion. When our opinions differ, we all think we are right and the other fellow is wrong.When I delete material, it is usually not a matter of absolute right or wrong, but of opinion. Therefore the story about the judge.

    Well Nunn, why don't you tell in your opinion WHAT was wrong with what I posted??Or is it something directed toward me?? I have noticed a lot of poofing my way...and I post by the rules.I finally got a answer about a complaint I made from the company that owns this site and it basically said that this was not a PC site, which I am finding somewhat hard to believe about now.And about your credo statement from that judge, read it again and the thing that should stick in your mind is how screwed up that statement is from a judge or ANYONE that holds any kind of power.The least you could do when you delete a thread is to tell the person that started it why.

    Ho! Bow your heads, fools! Sir Clouder speaks!Could you suppose he might have good reasons for what he does? Or does your laughable short-sightedness and arrogance preclude you from seeing that?Typical post. You wouldnt know what to do with yourself if you didnt have something to b*tch about or someone to piss on. Give the man his due credit.

    Clouder.....the Porch Puppy hasn't forgiven you for the swat you put on his nose the last time he piddled on the floor. He truly is too immature to understand conversation between men. Actually now that I think about it Porch Puppy may be a female....you know how they never let go of their anger at another with whom they've had a disagreement. I think back to a couple of Donnybrooks we had on the forum and I ended up inviting most of the guys with whom I had had cross words to lunch and beers at a Mexican restaurant at Camp Perry. The only person I know now who hasn't forgiven me for my more obnoxious posts is TLynn. Hell even SaxonPig who wanted to put a contract out on me at least acknowledges my questions now. Evil ATF even would let me teach Baby ATF how to shoot an M1. oh well maybe someday the light will come on. Beach [This message has been edited by beachmaster73 (edited 01-08-2002).]

    On the contrary Beachmaster, from this point on, I am the master, and Clouder is the puppy.He urinates on someone, I slap him.Which goes to show it is possible to teach a (very) old dog new tricks.

    UHHHH Judge, What fight??? Modify what? I broke no ESTABLISHED STANDARDS in the post that got poofed.Bullzeye, if you want to go to war with clouder, please do it on a thread you start. I am not trying to tell you what to say or how to do anything, but I am trying to get a answer here. And if this breaks out into a hockey game, it will getpoofed.

    ladr: I thought I had made this clear. Let's try again:You may have started a thread with a perfectly acceptable post. Someone way down the thread may have gotten out of line, and someone else joined in.It is faster and easier to poof the thread than individual posts. Maybe not fair to all, but efficient.As I pointed out, it is not necessarily a reflection on you, but on the responses.I don't even remember the thread you mean, anyway. And I am not the only one with poofing power. There are several individuals who go by the ID of Admin who also can poof threads.When I erase a thread, some of the posters thereon will undoubtedly think I was wrong. That is a matter of opinion, and why I related the story of the old judge.All I try to to is keep things civil. And I do this on my own time and my own dime.

    ladr: Your post probably was fine. It is entirely possible that members responding to your posts got out of line, and I may have deleted the thread. Got the good and the bad together. That is not fair, I know.Something about the software makes it faster and easier to delete a whole thread than a single post. Call it laziness on my part, if you want.Admin, actually several individuals, can also delete and edit. It may have not been I who got your thread.Any time I delete a thread, at least one poster thereon is going to believe I was wrong. A matter of opinion. That is why I posted Judge John B. Hainen's famous statement. Kind of like a Little League umpire. He has to call 'em, even if you don't think he is right.And in my case, it is on my own time, and my own dime. Sorry if you were offended; it was not my intention to do so.Also, during the hours when I can get online, the board traffic is VERY heavy, and often I cannot post, or even monitor what is here.All I can do is my best as I see it.

    The fight is the exchange of written comments in the threads (Its like the Alpha male competition within a territory for dominance) he "Urinates" all within his area to demostrate with his essence HE is THE BOSS. It's a Psycological aspect of human nature. We like full control of our Territory (OUR SACRED POSTINGS ) Then an "invader" steps in (A caustic comment) (Me included)(All in the name of having fun... but sometimes it runs out of hand .. we call each other "donkey rectums" mentaly minusvalid and worst like people wanting to "copulate" your face and things like that ...so it gets poofed, as mine have,and many others had in the existance of this forum ,REPOST if you like to see if its taken in a different mentality and is not poofed .... Don't worry about it .

    Judge, the bad part is I fully understand what yiou are saying.Nunn, I mod on a board also, this software does not have the ability to delete a post with a click?? The only difference should be instead of a single killing, you have to do it slightly more.Not blasting or flaming and thank you for the answer.
