It appears to me that the thread I started earlier today has been deleted. Not just moved, or closed, but deleted. However, I have not been “notified” of this. I have my “profile” set up to allow mods/admins etc. to contact me, but no one did. Just plain old deleted my thread. No explanations, nothing. Thanks a helluva lot god dammit! I would absolutely _looove_ it if whoever decided it wasn’t appropriate (even for the Pit) would tell me why it was deleted. At least if it had just been closed there would be the infamous final posting of explanation. Sheesh! ---

When I first got here almost 2 years ago (damn!), I made a very sarcastic pit thread which lasted 2 days before it was deleted. I was never notified, not even to be yelled at. Since I was a newbie, I didn’t realize that I forgot to fulfill my Doper duty and bitch about it. So, without further ado, here’s my bitch: Godamned Nazi moderators! I bet it was you Lynn! Or that asswipe Alphagene (It wasn’t John, he was a nobody just like me back then). Keep using those Zotti given powers of yours for evil, you moderhaters _and you will burn_! Sorry for the hijack **Devil May Care** , but I was feeling a bit incomplete. Now the world is whole again. ---

I’m curious too. Since **Devil May Care** ’s[sup]\*[/sup] idea of wit is a **Bossk** post, it must have been something. [sub]\* Seems we have a poster named DMC, and he objects to folks calling Devil May Care by his name. Just so ya know.[/sub] ---

For those who would like to see the link that was apparently offensive to someone, e-mail me and I’ll send you the link. Obviously I’m not going to put it in a thread again… ---

Wow… with all the crap that they let _me_ post, I wonder what they _don’t_ allow… Wait… it was a thread about Britney Spears, wasn’t it? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Biggirl \* > Keep using those Zotti given powers of yours for evil, you **moderhaters** _and you will burn_! Although I think this was a typo (since it was addressed to moderators, but it could have been intentional), you just coined a great new term. ---

My email is a bit testy just now, but can I see what is so awful that they erased all traces to avoid offending someone… (via the email, of course…eventually it will let me back in…) ---

Folks, let me put this very simply: DNFTT. I, for one, would love to see this thread closed. There isn’t anything here worth discussing, IMHO. For the curious, the link was tantamount to troll mastrubation - 'nuff said. Esprix ---
