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?

"But I CAN'T LET UNFAIRNESS AND ILLOGICALITY just slide by.'

Awesome.

Perhaps channel it to something a tad more worthwhile than this?

I would email, but lots of people share the same concerns, so it seems a bit daft.

How should I have asked my question then to avoid it being a thread about a thread?

Should I have put "Why was my Santa thread deleted??" Don't anyone else dare post or this will be deleted?

@Hullygully

No there weren't Rebecca. I talked about a group of twits, that was all. The only personal attacks on either thread were directed at me.

And could you explain why a thread on SITE STUFF asking why a thread was deleted = "a thread about a thread?"

And EXACTLY HOW ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO ASK THAT QUESTION

I think you have asked that question now Hully and I have tried my best to answer it on this thread in site stuff. Apologies that we didn't answer on your previous site stuff thread.

And we are always here if you'd like to mail?

Really I like to have a nice time, a laugh and sometimes a heated debate, I hate all this crap. But I CAN'T LET UNFAIRNESS AND ILLOGICALITY just slide by.

That's some impressive recall from someone who admitted fairly recently that they hadn't read the thread.

HoneyDragon · 05/12/2013 20:42

Whittling is a condition I inherited from my mil Grin. It mean low grade but continuous worrying that won't bugger off, rather than wood carving.

It shows my level of whittleness that I let slip and typed it Grin

No there weren't. Not a single name was mentioned. I said I had been insulted by a group of twits, that was all.

The only person attacked on either thread was bloody me

@Hullygully

Also, is no one ever allowed to talk about the existence of santa or not again?

Because that will be a thread about a thread, won't it?

Sorry, to be more specific. If the same posters are talking about a thread that was removed about the exact same issues, very shortly after the initial thread was removed - then yes, it's a thread about a thread.

There were also several personal attacks against other posters from the original thread on the second thread.

Hully, we haven't always got on too well but YOU ARE RIGHT .
Santa is the dark destroyer and Godwin's law should be changed to anyone who ever mentions royalty in relation to MN.

Haven't RTWFT but don't bail, t'would be a lesser place without you.

ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch · 05/12/2013 20:39

What's whittling?

HoneyDragon · 05/12/2013 20:38

Exit, I've been whittling about you Sad, that looks like the sort of thing that causes psychological scarring for owners as well as the dog, so quite understand if you don't want to say xx

Indeed MaryZ , that kind of scaremongering is serious.

Censoring a thread asking why a Santa thread was deleted should not be a priority .

bruxeur · 05/12/2013 20:36

I know that sometimes the mods get a wide-on for deleting certain people - I once had a hilariously unintentional email from MNHQ that confirmed this. NB - there is a difference between "reply" and "forward".

So probably not that paranoid, Hully.

Sometimes the indefensible is best served with just a yeah soz, hands up, that was a mistake, rather than equivocation
