No idea! Was it offensive? What I saw of it was not. Could it have been in the Ebay Outlook instead, OT?

The last I read, dadofstickboy was being spanked for making a comment about the President casting a "white shadow". I'm guessing somebody complained.

It is gone and I have no idea why, either. Blue falcon commented on it toward the end and took out a couple of comments - one of them was mine (responding to dad's comment about race). I certainly didn't read anything that was over the top. I thought we had a bit of wiggle room at the round table.

I thought the offensive stuff was pulled - I don't understand why the whole thread had to go!
News today is the mom does indeed receive food stamps and assistance for the three of her older six children who are disabled. They didn't say what the disability is. Gotta wonder if it is genetic and if so, they should throw the book at the fertility clinic (on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills).

I don't generally read comments by dadofstickboy very carefully and since the thread has been removed I won't try to rephrase the last comment that he left.
I can understand the removal of an offensive comment but the removal of an entire thread is unsual.
The moderator gave a reason for deleting comments yesterday. Maybe he can explain the subsequent removal of the thread.

It's also inconsiderate of all posters here who left well considered and reasonable comments for a moderator to remove an entire thread without explanation, especially when there are other options available.
Offensive comments can be removed and threads can be locked. Or posters who don't follow Vendio guidelines can be removed.
Use of those options would prevent the suspicious guessing game that we are having now.

In case there was any question as to why the previous thread was removed:
Helenjw - this forum is typically unmoderated, so the repeated need to come and enforce MC rules will make such topics subject to removal - and any offending posters subject to having their posting privileges removed.
Any further questions or comments about the rules of the MC can be sent via the contact us page.
This thread is now locked. Feel free to start a new one for the topic you were discussing.
