Why Was My Topic Deleted?

    Why was my topic on my past poetry deleted? What offense did I commit? Was it the first sarcastic remark? Is this not the “Outside”? Was it my comment on my feelings of Sistratroll? Did she complain? If so, I could have edited that out, but I think she’s a big girl and she can take ones feeling towards her, it wasn’t even that bad, it was an opinion.

    But I worked an hour on writing that topic and you don’t even contact me, tell me to edit it in any way, you just delete it?

    WHY??

    You want me to change, be nicer, this isn’t the way to do it.

    I am sure you’ll delete this, too.

    I see this place isn’t much different than its sister site. Suffused with a philosophy of quick-fix reactionary non-solutions.

      AP can you tell me the content of the removed post?
      Or better still, inform me of the philosophy of why the comment was removed?

      Or are you talking in ignorance?

        I might be able to inform you of anything you wished regarding the post, if it hadn’t been removed before I could get a look at it. Right now, it’s your word against Nam’s that it even needed to be removed from our tender eyes, and given the track record of the Gestapo populating AP’s staff, is it any wonder I should question this decision here?

          Did I say it needed to be removed from your tender eyes?
          I am neither a member of the gestapo or a member of AP staff (other than that of a teacher).

            I never said you were a member of AP staff, what I said was that, being sister sites, it wouldn’t surprise me if a corresponding philosophy of cavalier, capricious deletions obtained.

            And no, you didn’t say it needed to be removed from my tender eyes. The fact is that it was removed. Why? To protect our sensibilities?

            You could have been more open about whatever reasoning you had for the removal to dispel criticism of your actions instead of wasting time arguing pettily about a few trivial words with me.

            See, it’s silly to squabble about what you did or didn’t say when you really didn’t say anything at all. Nam wasn’t informed of the topic deletion, or even that it was an issue. Is it not reasonable to think that a more open exchange would have been a better way to handle it?

              Nam is aware of why it was deleted.

              I have no need to explain to anyone else.

              Subject closed.

                See? That’s all you had to say in the first place. None of these headless-chicken-running-about “Are you talking in ignorance?” shenanigans.

                  I should not need to tell everyone that I’ve spoken to Nam about it.

                  For the second time Subject closed.

                    True, you shouldn’t, but when I asked initially, you could have said what you finally have said after three childish and circuitous replies that the issue had been settled, instead of trying to enter into an argument with me.

                    I know, I know, the subject is closed. But you keep jumping in sassing me when an honest answer from the outset could have avoided this.

                    I too consider the matter done, and shall not respond any more to this thread.

                  AP, I was only informed after I IM’d him when I logged on. So, his comment there is vague. It wasn’t as if he contacted me after he stated he ‘accidently’ deleted the topic.
