Saint Peter

I always thought it referred to Saint Peter, the alleged gatekeeper of Heaven.

That seems to be the story going 'round online, too:

it is you guys that are providing the entertainment
a cause for mirth and..... embarrassment

lets recap

galt's banning: bad cos it was done for the wrong reason
elevate the rhetoric: good cos it is self evident
good faith: ambiguous to say the least. best left alone
locked threads: indiscriminate>bad. cherry pick>good

you guys are like bulls in a china shop. peasants really

Why was my post that contained the image of the Iraqi woman, in my thread, deleted? That post was not insulting... so why was it deleted, well after the thread was unlocked to boot? I reposted the image with a different text, in case that was the problem.

 

It was removed. By re-posting it you broke forum rules. You're lucky that your account wasn't suspended. I'm sure this will garner some diatribe about abuse of authority or other somesuch, but suffice it to say the discussion will not include diatribes and pictures of whatever beautiful woman you feel like including.

~String

 

Nay, no diatribe.

But why the deletion of the image in the first place? That image was removed halfway through the middle of the night by somebody. That was a good image, and there were no rule violations in any way whatsoever. Was it the image or the text that spurred that deletion?
