I don't necessarily find it blameworthy to delete a thread, particularly a commercial one (e.g. "Gear for Sale. . ."). It clears space on the front page more quickly.

I also don't find fault in Largo's action, because he said he would delete it in the thread itself. Also, by his timing of the deletion, I got in the last word. ;-)

I personally would have preferred that Largo's thread stay up, because I read it as a celebration of creative language, but I guess too many others, perhaps conditioned by speech codes, saw it as out-of-bounds. To me, the OP should have the discretion to delete a thread that degenerates into posts of unintended anger and hurtfulness.

Now, as for those multiple offenders, on the other hand. . .

Edit: I didn't see your comment, Brandon, before I posted, but I obviously find your deletion as one within your right.

TT, you are right. However, I feel strongly enough about the issue that I decided to let it stay.

I know, I'm being judgemental about what words of mine stay and which ones evaporate, but it's my choice. They are my words.

And Farouk, call me, you sexy beast. I miss your musk.

I've deleted a couple of threads I started or perhaps they faded far and fast into oblivion (the back pages). I really can't remember.

The reason being was one of two: no one found them interesting enough to post or someone else had started a thread concerning the same topic, prior to my effort. There was no need for a duplicate; so I deleted it.

What difference does it make? I've started to write many things that I've trashed.

you've got WAY too much time on your hands.
Oh,
and you missed me.
A few months ago I started some sort of snarky thread. Can't remember what it was about.
Thought better of it 15 minutes later and deleted it.
No one else had posted.
Does that count?
Do you have to create a new category for "threads without legs"?

I've started threads that have self-deleted, as in fallen into obscurity with zero responses.

I deserve at least an honorable mention for those.

Bluering = deleted his "Haters" thread.

I don't remember that, but it's a shame cause that was an awesome thread. How about my 'Communists' thread or the 'Illegal Immigration' thread. Gained some permanent unfriendlies from those 2.

I really do hate most people. The rest I truly love.

The guy who started the Joe Kinder/Ethan Pringle tree-chopping thread, whatever his name was.


What was his name? Looks like he deleted his posts. Hoser.. should have let that one ride out the storm. Heck. people were just starting to sympathize... a little.

The dust settled, pitchforks put in the barn and the drama reached saturation.

I don't know which is more disturbing, the loss of those trees or the unwillingness of people to accept Joe's apology as sincere or how desperate some people are to paint Joe as the victim.

The comment about east vs west trees is relevant. The guy travels all over the world climbing. The emphasis is on climbing (and probably chicks) and not on trees or ecology. I hope that changes. I hope he discusses sh#t like this with knowledgeable locals in the future, rather than unilaterally deciding to chop/chip/scrub/destroy whatever tree or chunk of "granite" (or chick) he finds desirable. Unfortunately locals in some areas are just as unaware.
