Tee, I see you deleted another thread...

Oh, well...

Then demonstrating that a thread started by Tee still exists on the board certainly disproves the absolute statement Rich made. But how did you find it? I scrolled through every screen of topics available to me, and there were no topics started by Tee. Do you have to search for all posts by author?

When I discovered, as you did, that the pages of threads available only took us back two weeks and, knowing that Tee really doesn't start that many threads, I simply did a search and found one on January 8th, I believe it was.

Guys,

Why are you getting so upset about an Internet Forum Thread? So what if you posted to it and it got deleted? You gave your opinion or answer and that's that! If the starter decides to delete it, what difference is it?

Does it affect your lives?
Apparently, it seems that many of you have no lives at all!

Will it affect the way you umpire in the future?
Hmmm, from your posts, it seems if the post that you responded to gets deleted, it deletes the information in your brains too!

Will it make any difference to your loved ones?
No, you dumb a$$es, it won't.

So stop complaining like a bunch of middle school sissies and get on with your lives!

This is my opinion, and I couldn't give a crap if someone deletes it!

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.

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?"

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