What happened to the “anal sex” question? I’ve searched manually and using the search function, but found nothing. Are “offensive” threads deleted without warning or notice? It _was_ getting a little risque, but interesting. Peace, mangeorge * * * Work like you don’t need the money… Love like you’ve never been hurt… Dance like nobody’s watching! …(Paraphrased) ---

Truly, and I have never heard of a thread being removed for content like this… It contained no offensive langauge, and was IIRC a rather clinical view of anal sex. I would like to know the official policy on erasing (as opposed to merely moving) threads, and if the management has any comments on this specific incident. Of course, the board management has the right to do whatever it pleases with its board, for it is theirs, but the normal rules of courtesy would seem to require at least an explanation as to why it was removed. It was certainly no more offensive than some of Cecil’s columns, unless it had taken a different turn between I had last read it (2:00 AM CDT 8/30/99) and when I noticed it gone (9:00 AM CDT 8/30/99). * * * Jason R Remy “No amount of legislation can solve America’s problems.” – Jimmy Carter (1980) ---

OP on that was _hetherlee_ and she has apparently been expunged. I tried searches w/variations and checked a thread I know she posted to…gone, gone, gone. Missed whatever transgression…? ---

Have you guys noticed that all the threads initiated by **heatherlee** have been deleted? I insist it was some kind of joke/experiment. Her writing/ideas/expressions were inconsistent from post to post… Oh, well… ---

I’m not vocal on this, but I sure would like to know what the hell the mods were thinking on this one. Loverock was one thing, but I hope the mods don’t get off on creating people any more, its really stupid, and make the mods more annoying than they’ve already become. Its a shame a frank discussion of sex is unwelcome, next thing you know the images of my penis will be getting deleted…geez. ---

I’m as serious as a heart attack! If you showed an e-mail address I’d forward the note to you. In fact, by even participating in this thread, I’m likely to have my handle and all my posts erased. I’ve already had about 100 posts deleted already in the Pit with one key stroke for an earlier incident of pissing off a mod… * * * Contestant #3 ---

Tuba, you must be smoking crack, but I did a search and turned up two threads asking what happened to her, and two threads that contained one response from her. I know of at least 3 threads she initiated that are gone. and her profile stated that she had some 45 posts. I also went to her [homepage](http://http://members.xoom.com/XhtrleeX/indexx/Page_1x.html), and found out she’s not a moderator creation. Is it possible that the content of her homepage mentioned only on her profile to my knowledge got her booted? Shame on you SD. ---

Oh, c’mon, Tuba! Puh-leeze! The only posts from heather are the ones she did NOT initiated. My last search shows 6 threads containing posts from her(?), and NONE of those was OP’d by “heather”. I noticed something was wrong right after her first response to me in the “mixed ethnic groups” thread. Even asked if she was real. What’s going on? ---

Did another search and found 6 more of her 31 posts, but none of the ones people are looking for. This is the link for the search results, don’t know if itt’ll work this way or not. (Wacked out link deleted - Nick) [Note: This message has been edited by Nickrz] ---
