As I told you, Jrfranchi, I’ve checked for your messages, and if I have a problem with any such threads in the future, I’ll bring it to the Pit. You have an apology and a promise. If you want blood, I’m afraid I am unwilling to accomodate you. ---

You have an apology and a promise. If you want blood, I’m afraid I am unwilling to accomodate you. Okay, cool by me. I was actually kinda suggesting that they could stop bashing you over my thread. I think the problem is cleared up. I will admit to being pissed off but I was missing a lot of background on both sides. ---

OK-I’m crazy. I was just reading a thread about some link to some weird other page (live journal? I dunno-never been on it). It referenced this whole mess re: TDS and Liberal. A couple of posters replied and I went to reply and got a strange message about my posting privileges being suspended, which they have not been… 😕 (Mods-I don’t want to start anything, I am just confused by this turn of events–maybe I tried to post at the same time the thread was taken out back and humanely killed?). ---

I believe it was deleted due to the references to another board and some people possibly taking offence to what was being posted there. ---

I’m a bit pissed that it was “disappeared,” because it contained a smear against me. I hate the idea that someone read the OP, associated me with snark boards, and missed my reply in my defense because it was no longer there. Just for the record, snark boards are a cowardly phenomenon. Even if I had the time for it, I wouldn’t, couldn’t participate in such sissy behavior. ---

The Internet is truly limitless in its depths and “creativity”, no? What freaked me out was that I went in and was kicked out and then couldn’t find it…strange timing. It sounded lame and bizarre and not a little creepy. And now, back to the thread. ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > (Mods-I don’t want to start anything, I am just confused by this turn of events–maybe I tried to post at the same time the thread was taken out back and humanely killed?). I put the thread in limbo, while I discuss the situation with more experienced and better-smelling moderators than myself. I understand this is frustrating to those of you mentioned in the OP. Sorry about that. ---

I understand this is frustrating to those of you mentioned in the OP. Sorry about that. GACK! I wasn’t mentioned in the OP–I don’t even know how to access LiveJournal–much less whatever and wherever that thread came from…(and for the record, despite Liberal being on my last nerve at this point, I would not address him in an underhanded way.) I think you were right to kill the thread–it was just the timing of it for me. 'nuf said. Moving on here. ---

I understand this is frustrating to those of you mentioned in the OP. Sorry about that. The thread was disappeared because it raked off-board matters onto our board. That’s a longstanding no-no. It stays in the twilight non-space that it so richly deserves. Veb ‘Smells better?’ ---

Yes, creepy how involved some people get in the internet isn’t it **Lib**? But some people collect stamps. Same same. I was shocked to learn that I too was smeared in that gum OP! Outrageous! All those people are so pathetically amusingly, cowardly, sad basement dwellers! ---

> [@TVeblen](#): > > The thread was disappeared because it raked off-board matters onto our board. That’s a longstanding no-no. It stays in the twilight non-space that it so richly deserves… Well, as far as it goes I understand. However, that was a pretty sweeping and bizarre accusation that **gum** made. May I ask if this matter is still under discussion or do we act like the thread never existed and that we have never been at war with Oceana?
