I just deleted a post - wanted to let you know


Posted: Feb 24, 2013

I wanted to be the first to tell you I just deleted a post per the OPs request.  It was the one of MO dancing on a TV show.  I felt there were a lot of good postives and well thought out replies by posters, but the OP emailed me and requested that it be removed.

I just wanted to let you all know I would have left it up, but it was her request for me to remove it.  I did not want anyone to think I was censoring any posts.

Thank you,

Thanks, Moderator. Yes, definitely per my request. - OP of that post

Just a little less negativity in the world now, woot. And hopefully we can just let it all drop here, no need to perpetuate the discussion.

Edit: Why I requested this be done is inconsequential and, frankly, no one's business but my own. One can request deletion of their post on most or all of the other MT Stars boards by the click of a button, no explanation required. Unfortunately, for some reason, I can't do that here, so no "strike-through" and I had to e-mail the moderator to fulfill my request. That's all, thanks.

Well, I saw and enjoyed it when it was nice and missed - the rest, so thanks. nm

Is this a first? - ?

Requesting deletion because it got too many negative responses? "No need to perpetuate the discussion?"

I thought it was very cute and - innocuous

but I knew it would bring the haters out in droves. It seemed like a lot of people thought she was just going on TV to do something silly and get some air time without realizing what the underlying point was.
it was... - sm

until someone decided to characterize it as ridicule.

On most, if not all, of the other MT Stars boards, one has the option... - OP of that post

to request deletion of one's own post by the click of a button, no reason needed.* However, that option is not available here or not available to me here, so I had to directly e-mail the moderator. Regardless, no reason is required. Whether your assumed reason is "a first" or not depends on why everyone else has ever requested their own posts deleted, which is impossible to know.

Sorry, i didn't know we were only supposed to post - positive happy and joy posts

I'll remember that next time. Mellow greetings. Be well.

I Have Deleted The PostAug 31, 2012
Not ONCE since I've come on this board have I hijacked anyone's thread, called anyone names, called any POLITICIAN an unkind name or treated anyone with less than courtesy and respect. I create posts that I think are interesting or will encourage an adult, respectful exchange of information.  And there was certainly nothing in this one to warrant the responses that ensued.  I don't engage in the flaming tactics and I would appreciate it if my posts weren't used for ...

I'll Probably Get Deleted For This, But I'm Going To Say It Anyway (sm)Nov 10, 2012
Do you people who frequent this politics board know how lucky you are to be able to express your thoughts on politics?  Not mentioning any names of the political MT forum where I usually hang, but if the kind of behavior that went on here, went on over there, there would be no one left to post.  Y'all act like a bunch of babies.  It is possible to disagree without insulting each other left and right just because of what party you are affiliated with, then running to the princ ...

What Will Be Deleted.Oct 27, 2014
After the voting post went bust, I decided to take the best suggestions from those that contributed and that's what we're going with. It seemed pretty unanimous that you have to have a "thick skin" to come to this board and most posters were okay with tpub and commie staying - even though everyone disagrees on the equality of both words.  I'll allow both to stay as long as they're not being used as direct insults to specific posters - those will be deleted, as well as a ...

Message DeletedJun 18, 2013
I have just deleted an entire thread of a message talking about hate and racism directed towards one party.  I do not want to believe a poster posted just to get an argument going with name calling of the other side, but that is what the entire thread turned into. Whether or not you agree with the other party, please try and refrain from posting just so people can argue, call others racists, haters, biggots, and try and "teach the other side a lesson". I'm sure I will get a lot of fl ...

If you post a drive by to another poster and are not talking about the subject matter being discussed your post will be removed.  Stop insulting posters because you do not agree with them.  This is not the place for that. Respectfully discuss subject matters being discussed.  Otherwise do not post at all.  Thank you, Moderator ...

Has Anyone Here Permanently Deleted Their FB Account?Jan 07, 2015
I'm thinking of deleting my account.  This isn't due to any kind of drama or anything like that.  I only use my facebook to communicate with family and a few friends in other states and to share pictures and updates about our kids and family.  I'm sure part of me will miss that, but I am considering deleting it.  I often go to it expecting to spend 10 minutes at most, and an hour goes by.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance! :) ...

Then the other couple of not so considerate siblings start... " ...

for proving to me - and several others who have not been run off by your insults and rudeness - that when push comes to shove, and you are faced with not-so-nice facts about Obama, you cannot defend him.  You can only try to confuse the issue and repeat and repeat and repeat what you have been told.  Marching orders, you know.  Thanks again for putting the idiocy out there for the rest of us to see.    ...

Ad On Job Wanted Board.Feb 05, 2012
What if you saw an ad like this on Jobs Wanted: Old worn-out and partially deaf MT seeking unrewarding job with harsh work conditions. Prefer long hours and mush-mouth or Mickey mouse dictators. Also prefer demanding, irrational and unreasonable managers who fire employees at drop of a hat. I enjoy being kept in the dark and having complete silence when asking for assistance. I am also partially blind, so don't expect miracles. If the above qualifications meet your job requirement ...

I must have scared my mom when I told her I wanted to be a boy.

The front office was kind of cramped, I admit, the phone ringing, scheduling...but then this calm relaxed medical assistant led me to the room, took my blood press ...

I know very high-end candles, such as Diptyque, as the very, very best, but can no longer afford such luxuries on my earnings. I'm hearing mixed reviews and just curious as to ...
