What the hell is going on!?

[Lee]

Yes, I say ban them, every freakin one of them! They are in my way! They are keeping my from getting to the threads faster. I need to know the Mac info ASAP! I just HATE scrolling past them! It's putting extra wear & tear on my fingers!

Damn wish I knew how to use that red. Looks so nice.

And disappearing threads? How could you, Mods? I didn't even get a chance to read them. Locked threads? I didn't even get to post in them. I am so upset. Mickey Mouse would be upset, too.

I, too, demand answers!

Sure hopes this helps, Carn.

Or if it was a borderline psychotic jumble of words that seemed to have no explicit point other than to annoy everyone else and make you look like a fool for your stupidity when it comes to prescription drugs.

Hell, those "Zeps and Sharks" posts on the Chit Chat board were offensive simply because they were so asinine that anyone who read them would instantly have 12 points shaved off of their IQ.

We must have tea and crumpets sometime while the two of us are still in the Stone Age.

Yeah, there's like, what, three people left still on dial-up... and we're two of 'em!

Wow people. Life’s too short. Bad Karma vibes happening here. Relax and let life be what it will. Harmonize and be in the moment with a humble heart. Make love not war. My suggestion to everyone is set aside some time today if only for a few seconds to enjoy a good masturbation.

Evidently you don't have to. You've done enough apologizing already.


And if you didn't delete the thread, are we to understand some other moderator did it, and then you went to the trouble of posting about it, locking the thread with your post so you could get the last word, then posting again while everybody else still couldn't? Why go through so much trouble to finish someone else's job?

Well, I was always a little leery of certain acts after I viewed "There's Something About Mary," but our Insane friend has a point.

I think you should have only deleted my thread if a fight happened or if people were being nasty to each other. There is nothing on the FAQ that says we can't talk about other Fleetwood Mac websites.

Damn right! It is natural for people to be curious about what is going on on another FM board.

And the reason that I have no doubt this was arbitrary and without merit is that for months last year there were more threads here criticizing Mick's board than any other topics. And the stuff that was being posted was pretty nasty. And when I suggested to Marty that he put a stop to it because it reflected poorly on the Ledge itself, he roundly repudiated me. So I find this particular thread deletion especially curious in light of that. I suspect it had something to do with a moderator's friendship with the owner of burnish.net.
