One of my posts vanished in (wouldn't it be nice if I could post a link?) the thread "Who was Jesus talking to when he said... "

I'm sorry you feel that something nefarious is afoot regarding one of your posts that you allege to be "vanished," but I had a look at all your posts and if there was a "deleted" post I'd see a little trashcan icon in the moderator's screen.

There: an apology and an explanation.

It's a miracle!

Actually, it seems Avatar did it, for preaching, along with some others. You could PM him.

I removed it, it was useless for the discussion at hand, and without a more detailed explanation - meaningless.

WTF are you talking about? That's the exact correct answer. Whoseover asks that same question will get the same CORRECT answer 2000 years from now and would have been told the same 2000 years ago. I could have said "for posterity", but my dipstick of the average IQ around here cautioned me not to. Now, it looks my dipstick was hopelessly optimistic and I'll have to exmplain the simple rheotrical phrases because even the mods can't piece together the most basic of them.

Just looking at the post, I can't see anything preachy about it. Maybe it was misinterpreted as being preaching. That can happen, you know... people being human and all.

Do we know why MW was asking her question?

She was once more talking about her sun-god theory. Moses was Akhenaten. All that rot.

And, the answer that 'he was talking to you' is inane as why would Jesus be calling me El or asking why I have forsaken him? He was crying out to god.

Actually the answer that 'he was talking to you' could be deemed rather heretical. Thou art God and all that shit.

Wait, was a post removed for heresy...?

I almost love that. It's so melodramatic.

I know I know, you weren't explaining why it was removed. I have to say it seems an odd post to remove.

And it seems to have t urned out he or she was serious in the response.

I don't know if he deserves and apolagy from Avatar, but he certainly does from Skinwalker for this condescending and it seems also incorrect post:

I was waiting for either
a.) zarlok to clarify his response, or
b.) someone to point out the obvious.

Thanks invert.

That really is nitpicking. What do we have here, a bunch of OCD people for moderators?

There are people that still don't get it? LOL. And one claims to have a degree? Must have rolled out of a crackerjacks box.

From the looks of it, even if I had "explained further", I would have been a "heretic" because of the poor comprehension of many of the people here. I find it humorous that a question of heresy would be raised in a thread that begins with asserting Jesus was talking to an Egyptian god.

At least someone was honest enough to confirm that it happened.

Zarlock, don't wait for apologies, explanations, or reassurances. Act, Zarlock.

I really love when my spot-on posts vanish, like this one did, yet crap like these pointless spam "epic fail" post I find all over the place: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=78176&page=3

It seems to me the mods here are very left leaning and don't like being proven wrong or seeing things that conflict with the agenda there are here to support. How the hell did moderator status get handed out?? Straws from a hate? Whoever would post the most useless threads and inflate their post count?

Different moderators for different subforums leads to different standards. Politics, to me, seems to be very lax compared to the other boards.

think of the vanishing posts scenario as a preparation for the ever changing life...members gone forever...people gone from this life to leave us apart.

Think of it as a preparation for mistress in black, the name of Death.

As holes go, that's probably the better choice.
