Was the topic I read yesterday deleted? It was started by Blue Devil about Shelden Williams and had nate jones proving what an idiot he is and how he can do do all but three of his favorite things on the internet.

Why did I take the time to post on that thread? I don't think anyone even read my post. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
Oh well....

Why the hell was that thread deleted?
It better not have been nate deleting it. Locking it is fine, but if you make an ass of yourself and then delete a thread you are a chickensh*t.

I wasn't going to delete it, but Larry (lawrenceterp) told me that I should, so I did. If it was solely my decision, I wouldn't mind having it up.

I read that thing and it was bad news. It should have been deleted. I know this place is supposed to be more leniant but that stuff was over the line. Nate apologized and I dont think anything was needed to be said on the subject. Just my 2 cents.

I suggested deleting it. This is why.... I spend a lot of time promoting this site and talking to people to try to get them to register. I don't want them to come over, only to find a thread like that. I did not make an order, I just suggested that the people involved in the thread might want to clear it out. It was embarrassing to see that.

The thread in question was just a un-called for flame war between two very passionate fans. At no point can there be a blame assigned to any party. The actual topic of the thread had to do with Shelden Williams. After a while, the point was lost and what is supposed to be insightful conversation quickly degenerated into discord. I suggest that in future threads that we keep to the topic. After all, isn't the point of having a TOPIC is to use it as a model for CIVILIZED conversation? Anyway, no fingers are being pointed, no reprimands being issued. Just remember, the administrators, other moderators, and myself are working very hard to attract more people to this site. As you may have noticed, there is a new member just about every day. I suggest that if you like having inteligent conversation with an extremely bright group of individuals, then you should refrain from saying things that could be easily misconstrued, or outright unappropriate for what we're trying to accomplish here. Besides, there is a reason that the Verbal Assault Arena was created. So keep the senseless banter where it is supposed to be, which is not on my board.
Thank You,
THB

I asked the question b/c I posted on that thread and wanted to check on it the next day. I know my post was probably"out of line," but I felt very strongly about what I posted and wanted to see what the follow-up was. If my post was the one that sent it over the top, then I apologize, but I do not think so as I never got to read any sort of apology for nate's outlandish and (censured) remarks.

Nate was the one making the fool out of himself.
I hope, Nate, that the things that you stand by do not include the believe that Williams is innocent b/c no charges are being filed by the girl and that gang banging is the norm.
