Ok this is my FIRST time ever pitting another member. (deep breath). In this thread, > **[Another kellibelli thread deleted?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=3414)** > > Is it just me or wasn’t there a thread out here in the Pit that was started by kellibelli that existed just a couple of hours ago? I’m pretty sure that I posted to it! Damm! Did she get censored AGAIN??? Up to and including the point at which I... **Contestant # 3** complains about a thread being deleted and neglects to check with the OP ( **kellibelli** ) of that thread, and neglects to simply ask the moderator why. Then when someone ( **Auraseer** ) calls him on it, and makes a related point (valid or not),\*\* Contestant # 3\*\*, apparently having no other arguments left, picks on \*\*Auraseer’s \*\* signature and starts making fun of the Wiccan religion, of magic and fantasy, drags in D&D players, and generally makes it seem like everyone is at fault but him. Then \*\*kellibelli \*\* comes in, and points out she asked for it to be removed. Is C #3 content? Fuck, no. He goes on to say: > [@Contestant #3](#): > > \*\*Auraseer \*\* is obviously a fraud as a witch This is disgusting, dirty pool. Why does this not fall under the “being a jerk” rule? ---

Some moron is going around bumping old threads, propably one you read. Contestant #3 isn’t even a poster anymore (notice no post count). I wouldn’t worry about it. ---

It’s a zombie thread (and a good example of why resurrectiong ancient threads is frowned on, since many of those posters are long gone). ---

Uh… **Anaamika**? Here’s a quarter, buy a clue. **Contestant** hasn’t posted here since 1999. Some dipshit named **YellowDog** dreged up an old thread. I predict **YellowDog** has no future here. ---
