Well, that’s interesting. Looks like you started a haunted thread, **Lobsang**. Figments to the right of us, figments to the left of us … ---

(“Yes, doctor, he’s talking to himself again. Can I go ahead and up the dosage? Thanks!”) You look thirsty, **Lob** , my friend. Here, have a drink. ---

Er, **Lobsang** , mate – did you _really_ need to put up text that’s been already deleted by the staff? ---

Well I didn’t think it was disappearing on purpose. I can’t see anything wrong with it that would merit it’s deleting. Am I missing something obvious? ---

I apologise to the mods and admins if I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t realize I was doing something dumb at the time. ---

Woo. And this thread started out … well, so _ordinary_ … I can’t see anything to it either, **Lobsang** – but it got deleted by those who _can_ delete, for a reason. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lobsang \* > \*\*Well I didn’t think it was disappearing on purpose. I can’t see anything wrong with it that would merit it’s deleting. Am I missing something obvious? \*\* Yes, it’s disappearing on purpose. The author of that post is a troll who haunts ATMB, just waiting to spread misinformation about the SDMB and/or its moderators. If you see a post disappear, assume that it’s disappearing for a reason. ---

_sigh_ Might I suggest that, sadly, this thread has become a troll magnet and perhpas should be closed, if only to ease the strain on the poor hamsters? ---

Or you could just ship it over to MPSIMS, where probably more people would tell you about the OP, \*\*Who has the most cryptic (apparently random, but meainingful) screen name? \*\* Lots of strange names on that forum list at the moment. ---
