So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

I miss Helen.

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 21:42

I wasn't here then (came soon after). That is why I was wondering really - in 5 years you either need new blood or you accept that the current generation of discourse is going to be pretty weak and warped

BIWI · 05/12/2013 21:42

Well why not read the threads more carefully? Then you might understand why some people are so irate?

IamtheZombie · 05/12/2013 21:42

Zombie is Sad that this same sort of 'discussion' is occurring so often recently.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:42

But you do seem to have a beef with people who aren't happy with the way the site is changing.
Why stick your oar in if you don't care?
My point is that if you don't like people saying they aren't happy then you don't have to read those threads or get involved.
No need to poke a wasps nest is there?

I was very much enjoying the TS Eliot on the second thread having completely missed the first. It seemed perfectly reasonable and discursive.

It seems such bizarre modding. It doesn't make sense. I wish HelenMN hadn't left. :(

GodRestTEEMerryGenTEEmen · 05/12/2013 21:40

Mouldies was five years ago.

Just sayin'.

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 21:39

Reeling I'm quite happy here. I have no beef with the site. Those who do have the choice of other forums.

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 21:39

BIWI I'm a frequent namechanger. I just don't get why some long standing posters get so irate when HQ delete threads because of goading / PAsor whatever. Last time iirc Hully you were upset that you weren't allowed to banter, and wanted a topic for that, now you're upset that you were trying to be serious (although I don't think you were but that's beside the point) and you want a topic for that? Really HQ always seem to pretty much stick to their rules for deletions - what do you want from them exactly?

ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch · 05/12/2013 21:36

Let us go then. You and I.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:35

Sure stick around, I was only suggesting you also have the choice of finding another site.

bruxeur · 05/12/2013 21:35

It's often said - by idiots.

See also country/job/relationship, and takes no account of the complexity of, y'know, adult life in which one has to work at problems and in which one can love the whole and not enjoy a component thereof.

BIWI · 05/12/2013 21:34

Are you a namechanger then Shredded? Because a search of your name suggests that you've only been here for a few months. In which case you might like to wonder why people are cross about this.

If you're not a namechanger, then surely you would understand the point behind this thread?

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 21:34

How are the moldies? are they still going? Do they have any fun or is the ideas-gene-pool utterly deracinated by exclusivity and they all have tiny heads and can't say the letter"s" because there is something funny about their lower jaws?

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:34

Shredded lovey, why would you think you are now a target, and for what? Confused

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:33

Well you say that Gold but who do you mean?

I really haven't seen that.

greenhill · 05/12/2013 21:31

I thought you were a submarine captain hully I'm obviously confused...

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 21:31

Haha. Glad I've given you a target! No plans to dereg - it's much the same as it's always been around here. And I like it so I'll stick around.

Golddigger · 05/12/2013 21:30

Isnt it often said that if you dont like the site, then leave?
Dont actually agree with that myself, but there are definitely some complaining posters who have said that themselves many times before.

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 21:30

Do you think this is something to do with faber & faber's shithot legal team and all the TS Eliot?

XmasLogAndHollyOn · 05/12/2013 21:28

Yay Shredded!

Thanks for that totes amazeballs reply. Its like so deep. Seriously dude, I stay here just for you!
