OH, my, AML - not sure I want to know what she did for that response. But anyway...

"To live is the rarest thing in the world - most people exist, that is all"

(actually used this under my high school Senior picture)

A very "Zen" quote by the way.

Wait! What happened? What did I miss? Why was the post deleted?

C'Mon Pale, I did not spell the bad words out.

Was it a really bad quote? Did you insult someone? Was it me?C'MON!!! Inquiring minds NEED to know!

No curses really, but it was a gross remark I made to my GF during a wise-arse cutdown exchange concerning flatulence. But I did not spell any words out that by themselves were offensive. Oh well.

"The ends justifies the means." - Niccolo Machiavelli

"I seek knowledge, so I may obtain power." - me (even though it is derived from Sun-Tzu's teachings)

Whoop, there it is

Fella: your reference to this particular type of bodily function is what started us on this whole censorship trip. Kind of ironic, eh?

Hard work spotlights the character of people; some
turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and
some don't turn up at all.

Sam Ewing

Yeah, but that was an entire thread, complete with graphic descriptions, etc. But ok, if that is your rationale, so be it.

Every evening on TV I see this Gas-X add. A lady is conducting a meeting and says, "Sales are flatulence. But that okay, I'm going to remain silent but deadly" or words to that effect. The tag line for Gas-X then appears. If it is okay for prime time TV, why not here?

My thoughts exactly Fraudman. But, that's the liberal thought process. God forbid anybody even gets slightly offended.

But, that is why I am pretty much staying out of the LAME cooler and having a grand old time in our new Private Cooler.

I prefer BEANO

Well, there you have it, now everyone is happy!

"You can't run away forever, but there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start."

Better watch out DQ, if it were anyone other than me you were talking to, they might be offended by that statement you just made. Oh God forbid!!!!

But then again, you are a Liberal Communist, so I guess it's all good!

I am curious to know why BOL would make someone like you a moderator when you have made questionable posts in the past. I understand that some of the things you are supposed to look out for are personal attacks and name calling.

For example, a proud conservative like myself might take offense to some of the things you called us in the Word association thread for conservatives thread.

For example:



Yes, they were all statements made by you. Yet, for some bizarre reason, the powers-that-be at BOL decided to give you the power to delete anything that anyone might conceive as remotely offensive or name calling.

So, it appears to me that with you being the Left wing Lunatic that you are, you would find a way to feel that almost anything might be offensive to anyone. But of course, you live by that Liberal thought process that you better not offend anyone, unless it's a Republican.

wow, longest quote of the day posted yet.

Here's another quote of the day;

Unless you go over the top, you can't see what's on the other side.

Well, Bim, dear, I have been called worse...

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them. -Edward R Murrow

Yes, I wonder Bimmer why you choose to act like that. I was surprised and disappointed.

"Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature; whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from."

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes."

Charles Swindoll

Lavender, GREAT quote!

If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all. ~ Noam Chomsky

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.

There is a quote that comes to mind right now, something about the pot calling the kettle black....

Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;

Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

"My cat's breath smells like cat food."

"You shot my hair!"

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.
~Ronald Reagan~

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

I feel for your Fella, I am torn because I don't think editing can be accomplished on this thread, and as you have noted, certain posters have taken it where no man is allowed to go --- ::slowing opening the garbage can lid:::

I cannot believe my post was deleted. I really can't. With all the posts in this thread, my post was part of the norm, and certainly less "offensive" than many others I have seen. I don't think I have ever been edited for the content of my posts. I am so disappointed.

what was it? I don't remember if I read it or not.

Don't worry too much as it happens to all good people sooner or later.
