...sometimes the thread starter deletes those threads. Which is too bad, as Warhammer & I were having an interesting discussion on Napoleon and all.

Still, this is good news. The next time I start one (or two) trolling threads, I know I can just delete them when they get out of hand. No harm, no foul. :)

Oh NOES! PEEPUL LOST POASTS :D

It is especially poor form given the author of the thread was being criticized for a pattern of making inflammatory posts. No one was actually discussing the original topic anymore.

I would post here, but I'm afraid that flere might delete the thread and cost me posts.

Maybe just don't post in political threads started by PSUColonel.

I was waiting for the inevitable, "This reelly annoys me" thread, with the message "...when people delete their threads."

Maybe there ought to be a standing rule that once a post get X number of replies, it cannot be deleted. My vote would be that once 15 replies occur, a thread becomes public domain.

Recovering lost posts.

I believe people have undelete powers.

which thread was it?

which thread was it?

The one with from the WSJ opinion page about how liberals have caused all that is bad in the world. It was also the one where several of us asked why the hell PSUColonel hasn't been banned if Jesse was.

oh...that was just on here!! hmmm, wow.

He also deleted a "This really annoys me" one which was just more liberal-bashing. He was on quite a roll, but sadly decided to take himself out of the race at the last minute.... :(

Starting threads to bash liberals is very unbecoming. It really goes without saying. The true stunners are when folks continually post about how bad the conservatives are. I just don't get those. :)

EDIT: Oh, and deleting threads with on going conversations is bad form.

I can't decide if I'm happy he deleted the trollish thread or if I wish he would have left it in the slim chance that it could have led to his banning.

hell, several mods were in that thread, bring it back to life. Rather then hit and run flamewars :)

It's kind of like taking your ball and going home.

Hmm, free posts?

Yes, a tough call there.

Exactly. It's like he decided to act like PSUBaby all of a sudden.

Maybe PSUColonel should stop being such an over-sensitive fucking douchebag cunt.

Maybe people should havestuck to the discussion at hand rather than going out an attacking others on a personal level. I have long been a member of this community in good standing, and was simply initiating a discussion over an article that even got play on a nationally syndicated talk show earlier in the day. I really don't see why this should lead to my banning...oh let me guess, some of you don't like my politics, that must be the reason. Deny it all you want, but that's exactly what was going on. In light of the situation and the lack of intelligence of those posting in the thread, I decided it would be better off to simply close it down. So say what you want, but maybe next time people can stick to the topic at hand.

For the record, I specifically said you shouldn't be banned.

By "personal attacks," do you mean posting your old crappy posts for everyone to see? Or did I miss something?

And now you are insulting other people's intelligence as the basis for deleting a thread where you were being exposed for being a trollish poster on this board. Classy. Real classy.

So say what you want, but maybe next time people can stick to the topic at hand.

You didn't even do this with the title of your thread, and the content of your first post. Why would you expect anything else from anyone else?

You entitled the post "Best article to describe liberals" or something like that. You then posted an article that talked about differences between WW2 and subsequent battles.

I've heard all sorts of stuff from syndicated radio shows. That seems to be Bubba Wheels' favorite source for misguided info. I heard one time a guy talk about his involvement with the Flat Earth Society. Does that validate his views simply because he was on nationwide radio?

Bump, he did it again. :D

I've done my share of liberal bashing, but if we're gonna do it, liberals should have the same right. Either there's free expression of opinions on both sides of the aisle, or no one should do it.

Sorry, man. You're just wrong on this one.

yes but WVUfan has been usurped as Scotland's minister of State, so he has no authoritah!!!

Bump, he did it again. :D

Not to mention, it's hilarious how well a post from him several months ago in this thread goes so perfectly with what happened today (or last night, whenever it technically was).

Man, I've been reading up on the Democracy thread, but I'm so doggone lost I don't know what to do. :-( My fault, I neglected to read it for a few days, and now I'm so behind I'm lost.

Sorry, I'm trying to catch up. :)

Why is the idiot still here? Hell, why does he have an edit button? I thought this was Ben's logic for limiting JB?

Reasons #1-#1642 - the threads are pointless and tedious

I lost posts and only just now stopped convulsively weeping so that I could post about it. Does anyone feel my pain?

I read the first Werewolf thread. Very entertaining.

no worries, its just a game and we'll be rotating positions at some point, in the meantime your next for a city again.

I'm sure he would have deleted the Koran thread too if he had been the one to start it. Subby is right.

Reason #1 not to post in Politics threads:

You will never manage to sway or convince the person you are debating with because people are as stubborn about their political leanings as they are about their religious beliefs. It will take some kind of personal involvement (positive or negative, though usually the latter) for anyone's views on politics to change - again, much like religion - and a well thought out, sourced, and by-and-large truthful post on a message board will have zero impact on anything.

Better to just post in the Off-Colour Jokes Thread (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=54962).

Take his edit button away!!! My posts were lost forever within the confines of internet obscurity!!!!

You're only saying that because he declared war on you. :p

Well, I intend to carry it through, you know. After all, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" ;)

I take PSU gets away without any discipline?

I started the Koran thread and chose not to delete it.

Though I used to think differently, I figure now that once the thread is out there, it should not really be in my power to delete it.

Basically, a thread will either die on its own or, if it really goes over the top, a mod will lock/delete it.

In other words, like any good politician, I simply pass the buck.

I missed this the first time around. Someone that normally disagrees with me had an enjoyable discussion with me! Woo hoo! :D

This thread will never be deleted. (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?p=1327482#post1327482) Your prayers have been answered.

Wow. The mods are quick around here!

:D

That thread wouldn't accept a deletion?

Apparently it did.

Don't worry. It'll come back more powerful than you can ever imagine.
