Recently there was a thread, I forgot which forum, and what the title was exactly. It was something like “What is my sexuality?” and it involved a Guest inquiring about his orientation and how it relates to a certain disabling circumstance. My question is this: Am I missing something, or unable to search correctly, or was this thread deleted? If it was deleted, I’m not wanting to debate that decision. I just want to confirm that it was deleted or that it was moved/retitled, etc. I assumed that controversial threads were more likely to be locked than deleted. Is this the case? ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] Unless you wish to get warned, you’re not supposed to talk about disappeared shit. [/QUOTE] Shh! You aren’t supposed to talk about not talking about them either. Or talk about not talking about not talking about them either. So if I disappear in a puff of electrons, you know that I’m an anti-social element, and have been taken away for re-education. And beatings. ---

[QUOTE=askeptic] That’s just you because the mods hate you. [/QUOTE] Meh, I still have a crush on em’. If we still are the message board to The Stright Dope, the ultimate question and answer resource then I should be able to answer the OP’s question legitimately. Yes there was an obscure sexuality question asked in an ealier thread. It was later determined to be posted by the sock of another former troll. It was deleted, which pisses me off, but apparently the people who run this place think that deleting stuff is fun, no matter how good it is. I could tell you the member that posted it, and his other original member name, but I’d get whacked. ---
