OT: Rating the President

[tbontob]

No it is not the wrong thread

Suddenly from 16 pages this thread is reduced to 2?

When I submitted my post, I thought I was somehow transported to another thread.

Does deleted pages happen very often?

Anyways, here is the post I had made, deleted and make again.

It may not make much sense to some people because of the intervening lost pages.

But it does outline my position with my Posts in the face of certain criticisms.
=============================================
Fyron, here is an example where I don't like using the edit button when the pace is fast and furious.

In this thread,
1) I made a post at 13:56
2) Mephisto made a post at 14.05
3) At the same time Mephisto made his post, I edited my post (at 14:05).
4) At 14:06, I posted a reply to Mephisto.
5) At 15:04, Mephisto amended his posting to include my edited posting.

Now anyone reading the posting with think "What the f...! What is tbontob talking about in reading his edited posting."

I think I'll go back to my usual way of doing things.

If things are fast and furious, I will post a new posting.

If things are not fast and furious, I will edit my post in my usual manner.

Whether things are fast and furious or not will be my judgement call.

So, it will just have to be something you are going to have to accept.

And if you can't, well it is your problem, not mine!

EDIT: I am not rigid on this. If God or the administrators of this site dictate I should post in a different manner, then I will comply.

But that is unlikely.

God has not spoken to me recently.

Nor have the administrators.

And the Last time I looked, you did not administer this site.

How well do you think GW would do at SEIV? - at this point - that's what I'd like to know.

You're right, tbontob! This topic used to be a LOT longer than 2 pages! What happened?! There was a lot of interesting discussions on those pages that vanished. Are they gone forever now?

[Fyron]

Yeah, who's the wise guy that decided to kill off our discussions?

[tbontob]

Thanks Kamog!

Over two hours had elapsed since my posting and I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who noticed it, or if I was the only one who cared or if I was going just plain crazy and had imagined it all.

[Fyron]

Tbontob, don't post and edit, use a second window to get it all in 1 post before posting.

[tbontob]

Grrrooooaaaaaannnnn!!!!!

(tbontob breaks down and cries like a baby)

[Fyron]

I wonder if these Posts will be deleted too? I have never seen a thread that has gone off the original topic moderated like this before on Shrapnel. Even the few flames weren't deleted, just locked down. Why is this thread treated differently? More heated debates were allowed to continue.

Fyron

What do you mean by locked down?

[Fyron]

There have been a few threads that turned into flames, and those were locked down (no more Posts were allowed).
