Since I cannot address him directly, or whoever DID trash my topic for no reason in the world at all, here is what I tried to send him.  This lock stuff is REALLY getting old, I did not have it coming.

Crybaby mode off.



82nd, if you did not trash my thread re: the "Duplicate Topic" subject last night, I would appreciate knowing who did.  I was posting a serious question with a humorous title, a double entendre, if you know what that is, as I felt it funny given the locks.  Not only was it locked, it was trashed.  In the past, I have thought better of a topic and requested it be trahed, only to have it locked, and have been told that threads could only be locked, not eliminated altogether.  Well, I guess that's out the window.

I do not appreciate what happened, a simple IM to me would have CONFIRMED that I was being serious, and I would have rephrased my title.  And people wonder why folks are leaving.  I have ZERO motivation to re-up my subscription when this is how someone who has lived here for 6 frickin' years is treated.

Once again, if you didn't do it, this rant is not to you.  But if you did, this rant just lets you know you locked a topic in no violation of anything whatsoever and have deeply disappointed a long standing member.

Oh, and I just got back from Kinko's to do the business I attempted to ask a question about last night.

what happened to your avatar?

Quoted: what happened to your avatar?

Hahahahaha!

As long as members are treated as they have been lately, it ain't gonna be no stinkin' avatar!  And where were you?  You shoulda swung by a minute ago and helped me down/chainsaw the big tree in my yard!

It's the internet.  Don't take it, or yourself too seriously.  

If you're talking about  82ndAirborn he's a good guy.  Relax.



Breathe deeply.

Calm blue ocean.

Calm blue ocean.



ETA:  Are you sure your topic didn't get moved?  Have you looked in the pit?

Apparently your humerous title didn't make him laugh...

Of course he's accepting IMs--just because you can't figure out how to do it doesn't warrant a "call out" thread.
