I edited Ray's post in the Porn thread because it contained a lot of what seemed to me like details of a specific situation, and not an abstraction as is more appropriate to the thread. I will close down the thread if it starts dealing with specific situations.

The hypothetical I gave was what I'd witnessed a close relation do... I am not (to my knowledge) related to anyone that frequents this messageboard).
As per to the person it might pertain, I've never received so much as a blip of conversation or confirmation that such a person had such problems... the reaction is um... suspicious...

Did I say that it was about someone on this messageboard? It just seemed like you were talking about someone's specific situation. There seemed to be a lot of anger in the snipped part, and we shouldn't talk ill of anyone, on this messageboard or off. I see that I wasn't wrong about it being a specific situation, and that is the sole reason for the moderation. However, I am open to admitting that I was wrong in my action. Please let me know if and why you think it should be restored.

My apologies for being rude or overly assertive, sardonic, sarcastic, sarspastic, sassy, sasparilla, sarflatulentic, you name it, I've probably done it to anyone and everyone...

I have a serious question. I thought that any posts in the moderation thread are supposed to be about the thread topic without the humor/funny-ness, etc. Other mod threads have gotten shut down due to the humor. What is different about this thread that it's allowed to have the humor and fun? Just trying to get a handle on how things are run....
