I've now had maybe 30 posts deleted because I called bullshit

[motocicleta]

on idiots.

How long does DU expect people to donate and participate when freedom of speech is not on the menu?

1. You should e-mail admin

This is the wrong way of going abou this. This tread, i suspect, will also be deleted.

[EFerrari]

2. This may be a good time to take a break.

We all get frustrated and that's hard. It never hurts to step back for a moment.

3. I suggest you read this link

8. My problem, in truth, is that often people attack me,

I don't alert but respond in kind, and then my posts get deleted while theirs don't simply because they alerted and I didn't.

The machine doth not work, because I believe in free speech and the cowards don't. I suppose I have had far too long a run on the wrong website because I care for free speech and it is clearly not one of the objects of DU.

12. You don't follow the rules, so it's the other guy's fault?

:eyes:

NGU.

14. whaaa?

[sandnsea]

15. Thems the rules

Live by the mouth, die by the alert button.

[motocicleta]

17. Just sayin'

I think the alert button isn't doing DU any favors.

4. The mods generally

are pretty good about stoping things before they go to far. Might want to take a break, bud.

[Jed Dilligan]

5. My prediction:

This will be number 31.

Before that happens, what idiots and what bullshit do you speak of?

[motocicleta]

13. well I couldn't name anything or I'd get deleted, right?

But let's just say a moment ago someone called me a female dog and when I responded, quite civilly, I think, my post was deleted and his/hers is still there.

[Hippo_Tron]

6. A suggestion from a former mod

I can't speak for the mods because I'm not one anymore and I don't know why your posts got deleted, but I know that your posts tend to get deleted when

1) You call someone out by name

2) You resort to name-calling

Attacking the argument is generally okay. Attacking the person is not allowed.

7. Oh my God ! It was you who got my post about seal pups

and humans co-existing a farce ! For shame ! You made me cry ! j/k

Don't let it get to you.

[motocicleta]

10. You're right, I'm just pissy

no really.

[Erika]

9. take it up with the mods

OK?

[sandnsea]

11. Flame wars get deleted

Believe me, I know. :evilgrin:

Sometimes I think people are way nastier to me and I get deleted anyway. Put up with it or be nicer. Or put the idiots on ignore.

:)

16. genius, as always, sandnsea
