Very possibly steve, but if it was a part of the ongoing warfare between yourself and a certain audio designer (ahem) it may have been a case of cumulative effect... I note the other party (if it is who I think it is) is under ongoing moderation and has a history of censure for the same offence. The moderation may be a little heavy-handed (thats a matter of personal opinion), but it is at least consistant.
Well dats me , because i don't know why , the reason was for "bad " words
i did say:
" pity the poor bastards that would have to go thru all 5000 pages to find the answers "
then went on to write 15 -20 more lines with nothing that would even come close to a " bad word" , what's offensive about the above to warrant total deletion of my post ..
I will add this conversation was also between 2 other moderators at the time and they said nothing, while conversing , sometime later "Cal " deleted the post .
Go figure .........
Anyway a warning would have sufficed or removal of the so called " offensive " word . not my total post. Total removal would be no different than you telling someone to shut-up to their face while conversing , it's disrespectful at best, IMO .

I also believe the moderation is sometimes ham-fisted.
My post, below, was made pointedly but was deleted. It was a way of making a point but subtlety is unappreciated, apparently. By whom and why, I don't know.
I have been subjected to a mods' post that some, possibly many, may construe as a physical threat. That post is still there and I don't believe the mod was modded.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy this forum; however, unless matters like this are discussed, fully and frankly, I believe a sour taste is left in people's mouths, and dissatisfaction builds.

I agree. Some with a commercial interest certainly appear to use their mod powers to protect that interest. Many will know who this fits best.
Fascists and dictators have relied on this agument since time immemorial. It still doesn't make it right.
But if the poster isn't fully aware of where the lines are, how will they find out?
Resorting to an ad hominem doesn't contribute anything other than try to show superiority. IMO, this post is insulting.
I agree.

Well, I prefer a rude but honest person, someone who speaks his mind, than an hypocrite full of nice words. I also think that you always learn something from an "insult": if it doesn't hit the target you learn about the one who's insulting you and if it does hurt, you learn about yourself. I have no fear of knowledge. We're all grown ups here, aren't we?
I say this this because someone said something unpleasant to me and his post was deleted; I didn't have time to read it and that person may have been right with the name calling, I will never know.
Words cause reactions; positive or negative, I want to know.
This forum rules impose silence upon people and silence can be the rudest response.

I went looking for the post. There was nothing concrete in it, and ignoring quoted material, was a 2-liner. No loss.

If i go back & look at that post, it is clear that it was delted because you had already removed all the content in it... below i quote the post as left after edit by Francec
And i'm guessing the bit quoted by Jan here is what was there before Francec deleted the content of his own post.

PS: i too miss Texas
Truth is that DIYA is a reptilian dark force, hence its size and influence on the hobby. Never loved the hobby, is here to sell and divide and mute, has no statistical experience or learned policy for balancing a global diverse membership. Its a hallucination because its reptilian media.
