The only reason why I came out to say something is Mr. X was acting innocent like he did nothing wrong when I did see the first post and it was mean... But No, I did not report Mr. X to admin, the only person I have reported to admin the last few months has been myself.... Now back to lurking and not posting in WE....

For the FOURTH time, it was the second topic which contained only neutral comments that concerned me. And for those who are implying otherwise, I'm not an idiot? I know perfectly well how to write comments that are completely within community standards without question. OBVIOUSLY, it was the topic itself that was unacceptable that second time around.

OBVIOUSLY, you refuse to accept that your version of writing within community standards could be different from the Admins. And that's the crux of your issue.

The only reason I didn't post the link with no comment at all is because it drives me nuts when darkbeer does that. Obviously some topics are taboo thanks to certain posters, THAT'S the crux of the issue.

Originally Posted By Mr X No, it's not a paranoia thing. I just find it interesting that the second topic (same subject) quickly vanished despite my careful neutrality. But if you don't believe me, why not find a current event about Mormons and post about it and see what happens. I'd do so myself, but frankly I'm not looking to piss off the owners on this one...just noting the interesting oddity of it all.
