Is moderation here biased?

[Gra]

Exactly. This is not the point, is it?

Dude, I think his point was we all get them deleted, we all move on

[Frank&Earnest]

And, while we are philosophising: I just noticed, Grunt, that your humorous take on alcohol is just an example of a universal principle:

Law I: A human must not waste anything or, through inaction, cause anything to be wasted
Law II: A human must, when requested, acquire more of anything for itself and others except where such orders would conflict with the first law
Law III: A human must make good use of anything as much as possible as long as such endeavour does not conflict with the first or second law.

And, Rowan, is your point that:

a) the moderator does not need a reason
or
b) there must have been a reason

Make up your mind, happy to debate either point...

The point does not need debating, but since...

The rules state that we do not have to have a reason to delete a thread or post, but if was the one to delete your post then he wouldn't have done so without a reason.

Really get over it. You are not doing yourself any good trying to argue this point. If you really think that the moderation here is too much then go and try one of the American forums and post there. Then you will know over moderation!

Struth BT, what were you cooking?

Yes, and? Am I not moving on to a different level of discussion? If you do not like this new level, you do not need to partecipate. If you do participate, please be constructive.

Aha! See how correct expression makes all the difference?

See above. Wasn't I clear enough in expressing the principle that I am happy with the quality of moderation and that this is not the point? With Cliff et al., I do not give a rat's about my posts being deleted, that was only the starting point for asking a legitimate question. So far it looks like everybody is too scared to address the question.

F&E,

Here is something constructive. There is now a sub-forum devoted entirely to fishing. Go get 'em, tiger!

[Frank&Earnest]

Yep, this is a fishing expedition. From you, though, I was expecting more... I thougth you had the b***s to address the issue.

Yeah, they are controlled by the CIA, not just ASIO, and they are mean mothers!

[Grunt]

Maybe, but I recon I'm the only one to get an infringment notice because of a cooking thread!

Impressive. I did get one for a post in the Orange Room.

This is the second time in as many days that someone has questioned whether or not I have blokely bits. Linden Hardy had a shot (in jest, I believe), and now F&E. I'm beginning to feel emasculated (look it up).

The moderation here is the free market at its best. Neil owns it and Neil decides. Simple, really. Don't like it? Buggar off. (Not directed at anyone in particular, just a statement of fact.) I've had a few posts deleted, and rightly so. But F&E, you are a sly dog. If I am a possum stirrer (and I am), you are a fisherman of the first water.

If you wish to have a discussion of some depth, open a thread to that effect in the proper sub-forum and I will respond. I am one of those blokes with a high IQ who is so Stupid. I have more education than I can use and so would be glad to slough some of it off on those who can use it.

There are no smilies in this post, becaue I am not smiling. But, again, I am not angry, either, just puzzled. What in the world do you want?

[NB: Kiss this post goodbye, I suppose.]

[jaspr]

It would actually be a far better forum if the threads were all wood related.

As for the non-wood stuff, I'd prefer all of it to be moderated out!!

... yes, I sometimes like being provocative.

[Lignum]

This is the second time in as many days that someone has questioned whether or not I have blokely bits.

3rd... dont you check your smc posts
