So Mr. Roberts has taken it upon himself to accept the challenge to censor me and delete my posts under his thread concerning the cultural obliteration of Ukraine by Putin’s forces.
If this is what this forum has come to, then maybe it should be sold to Mr. Musk so that hateful comments can continue, yet throwing the BS flag is not allowed.
Wait! That us what he just did.

A total of 7 comments under Mr. Roberts’s psst under Len’s thread have been “disappeared”.

There is always the possibility that there has been some sort of glitch that made your posts disappear. I suggest that Mr. Roberts set the record straight – have you been deleting posts that you did not like?

I checked the trash file, and found one comment by Mr Green there, which I restored.
If you have ADMIN status, it is actually easy to delete a comment by accident, just an accidental drag of the mouse the wrong way can do it, and you have about 5 seconds to undo the delete before it goes to trash.
If that happens, bring it to my attention and I can probably retrieve it.

I deleted the comment on purpose. Now that it is restored, users can decide for themselves whether the deletion was justified.

Seeing as you regularly attack others personally, your posts should have been deleted a long time ago. Yet NONE of yours have ever been deleted by Len.
It is because of people of your ilk, that do NOT get censored, that I take offense at having my post censored because someone with moderator credentials had a hissy fit for being called what he is: a pro-Putin, anti-democracy cheerleader.

“I deleted the comment on purpose”
Kudos for owning up.
As someone who has been on the receiving end of far worse personal attacks which nobody deleted I cannot endorse your decision on this one. From my point of view, Adam’s comments were a factual summation of your absurdly pro-Putin history here on the subject of the Russian attack on Ukraine. You obviously do not agree but that does not make it an ad hominem attack worthy of being deleted. IMHO.

In that case, you and Mr. Green are equally stupid. That’s just a factual statement.

Personal attack. Seriously? This is much more blatant than anything I have said about you. I call our sources stupid, but not you personally.

Adam and I may be many things, but neither of us is “stupid.” That is NOT a factual statement. It is a childish and emotional outburst and maybe, if you can calm down, you will recognize it as such.

Sorry, I can read and I now know the history of your recent moderation efforts. When the deleted message was restored, you suggested that others could judge for themselves about the quality of your moderation work. I did so in a very civil and respectful way. Your response is to call me “stupid.” Calling that response “emotional” and “childish” was both accurate and generous. IMHO.

Since your challenge was to me, personally, did you expect someone else to accept it?
Here is a link to the rules of the Forum:

Here are the specific rules you violated:
“No spam or advertising, be civil, personal insults and ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated. Please remain on topic.”

…”did you expect someone else to accept it?”
I expect to all members to be treated fairly. You on the other hand, only see to your own devices and support those who blindly follow your lead.
Paul called it as he saw it: You were called out for your CONSTANT pre-Putin postings. Your attempts to deny that were an attempt at deflecting away from the fact that your have been cheerleading for the fall of Ukraine.

RE: “You were called out for your CONSTANT pro-Putin postings.”
So what?
I deleted your comments because you broke the rules. I called you stupid because you don’t understand what you did and insist on defending yourself when there is no defense. If you don’t want to play the game, go away.

Which rule did I break? It is not ad hominem to refer to your posts on the topic at hand as historically BULLSHIT. Your little right wing pro-Putin panties got all wadded up and YOU decided that because you COULD, you would delete a post that you did not like. You don’t like the fact that I was truthful in my post concerning YOUR history. Sorry if you don’t like being called out for your rubbish, but I have a personal obligation to call liars out for their liars and BS artists out for their BS.
You ain’t that freakin’ special, Mr. Roberts. But you seem to think that you are. You may have moderator permissions HERE. But that just means you can attempt to silence anyone who disagrees with you HERE. If Don believes that you still deserve to continue in the capacity he has trusted you with, that is his choice.
But if you accuse someone of breaking the rule, you better be right.
