Matt, let's cut through the obfuscation:
1. I never raised any questions about Chief's deletions, don't know who he is or what board he posts on, so this is irrelevant.
2. Whether it is one deleted post or twenty is, or IMO should not be, the criteria for restoring posts. Posts are restored one at a time and need to be looked at individually.
3. You say the post was deleted because it was a "Personal Attack" in the opinion of the COB, yet:
a. Mr. Ed did not object and ask that the post be deleted (as far as anyone knows)
b. The COB did not, IN FACT, know whether a personal attack occurred; it was, and apparently still is, an assumption by the COB
4. I may be wrong, but I thought you represented yourself to be a "higher court", for just such a case when a post was unfairly deleted. If no personal attack occurred, then the deletion should not stand.
5. If you don't agree with the deletion, yet you won't restore the post, why are you part of the process?
6. Perhaps you need to add another box to the board manager so that "other" and an explanation will be entered.
7. And for you to say to me "If, in your opinion, this is censorship, then I suggest you stay off THAT board, as you views don't meet with theirs." is off base Matt. The issue isn't about MY post being censored.
8. Now, to sum up, by your post to me wherein you say: "I don't agree with the deletion. I got the joke and saw no problem with the post." why wouldn't you restore the admittedly incorrectly deleted post simply on principle?
With all due respect,
AK
