I can speak only for myself, but I can assure you I haven't gotten the least bit upset by this thread, or anything posted in this forum, ever.

Well, this has been asked and answered, but I'll repeat it and I'll type slower this time.
If I take the time to compose and post a thorough, researched, spelling-checked and well constructed post to any particular thread, the chances are that post will contain information that is not only relevant to the starter of the thread, but to OTHER readers, present and future. I don't know about you, but most of my posts are written with care and attention to the fact that my words will be up there for anybody and everybody to read. I'm OK with that; I think those considerations make for higher quality posts, and a higher level of discussion throughout the board.

Hmmm, from your posts, it seems if the post that you responded to gets deleted, it deletes the information in your brains too!

No, it won't affect the way I umpire, but it very well may affect the way Lieutenant Dan or littleboyblue or ozzyosbourne umpires in the future. Notwithstanding the cliche about leading a horse to water, if my posts are available to other readers now and in the future, there is a greater than zero chance that those words will affect the way those other readers umpire. If I have been censored by the arbitrary and capricious deletion of the thread containing my post(s) by the thread starter, then there is indeed zero chance that my words will have any affect on anybody. Then the decision becomes "what's the point of answering a post in a thread started by a notorious thread-deleter?"

No, you dumb a$$es, it won't.
So stop complaining like a bunch of middle school sissies and get on with your lives!

Sheesh, where does all this childish namecalling come from? Grow the phuck up, man.
