A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts

Most times I am especially pissed, deeply pissed, if i had bothered to post in the given thread.

Sometimes it takes a few hours of my time to put together a decent, well reasoned response to something I perceive to be off balance, or whatnot..and then the post is removed and/or the thread is removed.

If removing a post, have the human decency to send the offending post to the person who had their post removed. Yes, there are audio forums which do exactly that.

Or, as stated LEAVE THE (given locked) THREAD and don’t delete it. It’s a deeply offensive version of cancel culture and it probably angers most people here, the people who bother to post and share/debate in the given threads.

Talk about shooting your own forum in the ass.....

yeah, ok, no problem.

but I spent time making my pretty little bit of words and I want to leave them now, so I can bask in my own glory. So I will. :P

Anyone got any sun tan lotion and sunglasses? It's really bright out here...

Don’t go political. it’s not a political discussion.

As for change or the asking of it. Demanding a given status quo remain/exist is just as violent as asking for change. There is litterally no difference in one position or the other when it comes to the idea of argument. change vs no change is just a set of bookends and one does not necessarily outweigh the other... That...push and pull or even locking down, will always be part of an argument or discussion. It can't possibly be any other way  - it has no political orientation.

As for deleting a post on your own, sure go ahead. no problemo, here. it’s when moderation removes a post, with out sending it back to the person who might have put considerable effort into putting together a quality argument.

All i know is that it is getting hot out there, re the depth and width of division.

And I'm afraid we're likely as far from reconciliation as we can be, aka, the long dark tea time of the soul is very much in session.
