Do I start a candle light vigil? Do I start working on a pit for jerking us around? I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I have the opportunity to do the latter. Either way, I’m not getting any sleep. ---

I know what you’re talking about. I’m with you. Getting my candles out. Gonna be up all night. Hoping that we get to get all irate in the Pit. Hope hope hope hope hope hope hope. (In case others are unclear what we’re talking about, a recently deleted [or hidden] thread revealed some very distressing news. We are hoping it’s not true.) ---

It disappeared for the second time before I could post… I’ll be up later than I need to be; I can’t sleep right now either. ---

I can definitely understand the uncertainty by the mods/admins… This is a very sticky situation, legally, morally, and ethically. Hopefully things will turn out for the best. ---

Oh I don’t falt them at all (for deleting his or moving mine). I just hope they are doing something IRL. Maybe there is a doper that can be contacted that lives close to him… ---

Can someone explain what the hell is going on? Why is everyone so cryptic? And if it can’t be talked about then why have a thread about it? I feel like I just walked into a room where everybody’s all serious but no one will say why. ---

> [@Mdm. President](#): > > Oh I don’t falt them at all (for deleting his or moving mine). I just hope they are doing something IRL. Maybe there is a doper that can be contacted that lives close to him… With the board gone subscription, they’ll have contact information for him. I fully expect that the thread has been hidden until they can get more information **and** that one or more of them is on the phone to local authorities about this. We get stuck with waiting. ---

FWIW, he started that thread at 11:20 pm, Eastern Standard Time. His last post prior to that (according to a search I did while the thread was still visible) was at 8:58 pm EST, in the Pit thread “What kind of person feeds this junk to a baby?”. I dunno. Does anyone know where he lives? If he’s on the west coast, he could have posted in the Pit just before leaving work, while the Scary Thread was made from home and prompted by a phone call. I could have written your OP myself, **Mdm. President**. (BTW, cool username! (apologies if that’s irreverent)) ---

I agree with **Diogenes**. What is everyone rabbiting on about? Has someone been divulging state secrets? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-going-to-be-up-all-night-now/275017.md?page=2)
