I have impressed myself. I won’t repost it as it has been deleted and respect that. I don’t see it around in GD (nor do I see the FoG thread that it started in) and I don’t see my crossposting of it here (It’s a story of a guy named FoG-ey).
On a related note, I thought you guys agreed to stop censoring. Just an idea. Most importantly have fun with what you do.
HUGS!

FoG’s entire thread has disappeared off the GD list. I can still get the first page, but with errors. I’m guessing you’re not **that** offensive and there’s been a coding problem with the deletion of your post.
If your you cross-posted here, it’s probably been deleted because it’s a cross-post.
Just WAGs, but we’ll soon see.

Actually, I was suggested by Gaudere to post it here as it was more appropriate, so I did. I then asked her to delete the GD post. Now the whole thread is gone. It wasn’t so much of a cross post as a follow through from her suggestion.
HUGS!

Yes, your post was so offensive, it caused the entire thread to spontaneously combust. Shame, shame. And I didn’t even get to read it first…

If you really want to read it, I have my post here saved in word format. I can email it to you.

I’m afraid it’s **my** fault. I posted a rather lengthy reply to Joe Cool’s rant on how we were all mistreating FriendofGod, and included some severe miscodings in it – quotes that weren’t bracketed right, cascasing bold-ons that never got bold-offs, and so on. I e-mailed Gaudere to request that she fix them.
And the thread disappeared.
Right before my eyes. Like it was Margaret Hamilton, and somebody poured water on it.
Hey! Can I use this as proof of something!?! 😉

Ah, so it was YOUR fault. hehehe. 😉 That still doesn’t explain why the thread here in the Pit disappeared then.
HUGS!

Behave yourself, or I’ll let the Capital Bear Lodge know about Small Wonder! 😃

Just a [link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36951) to what **Polycarp** posted to ATMB and **Tuba** ’s response. It would appear something odd _has_ occurred.

I was _wondering_ what happened.
Poly, I’m curious to see what you had to say to my rant, if you feel like retyping it though. if you can remember what you typed. I can’t remember all that much of mine. heh.

Not our fault.
Act of God.
Got any complaints, go talk to a rabbi.

Wow.
First slythe agrees with a comment Lib. makes about god (with the proviso that the terms have to be understood loosely enough). Then he attributes a computer glitch to an act of god.
C’mon, out with it. You’re really a closet theist, aren’t you!! 😃

The thread disappearing was an “act of God”? That’s kind of a let down from parting the Red Sea.
Then again, I’m glad he’s not raining fire and brimstone down on New York City.

I saved the thread ‘It’s a story of a guy named Fog-ey’ to my hard drive on Saturday. It’s got all the replies up 'til lazarus-7’s
What can I do with it now to help?

I would gratefully accept an e-mail, if you wouldn’t mind sending it to me. Address is in my profile. You know the drill, remove “SPAM PROOF” from the address before you send.
