Geoschmo

Geoschmo, how many individuals were given the capability of deleting 14 or 15 pages of Posts.

According to the forum main page, Geo, Mephisto, SJ, and Atrocities are Moderators. ISTR that Instar is also SpecOps, though. Maybe there are more unlisted Moderators that I can't remember.

Well, I don't know if they will find this helpful or relevent, but it happened in a 18 minute period between 16:00 and 16:18 of Jan 26th.

I was accessing the posted Messages to prepare my post and made the post at 16:18.

I know the answer:

It was the C.I.Eh

The Canadian Intelligence service, they were trying to quash any anti-Americanism before U.S. drug companies get mad and stop selling their products in Canada, where we sell them back to Americans over the internet. Quite lucrative.

If the reason for deleting the posting was because they were not on topic about the president of the U.S. of A., the perpetrator certainly did not succeed.

The postings since the deletion have been on anything but the president.

And if the intention was to delete 14 or 15 pages of postings unrelated to the topic of the president, it should be noted that in doing so, the perpetrator also deleted insightful and pertinent observations and opinions about the president.

I can vouch for that.

Well, in the sense that Mephisto contributed to the thread with a "Hear, hear" to a quote of a posting I made which was not on topic.

Incidentally, that particular posting of Mephisto and which was later edited by him, was the one that prompted my post which discovered the 14 to 15 page deletion.

So, Mephisto, in my mind you are in the clear (along with the other Moderators who have disavowed any involvement).

And the fact that you had contributed to the thread with a post which was not on topic, (and which was deleted) doubly confirms in my mind the truth of what you say.

Hey why is america slowly becoming a monarchy ???

I mean... a few select families are running that country now... and have been for the Last 30 years...

Hmmm, I get the feeling it wasn't one of the Moderators, and shrapnel would have said sometyihng, so that leaves only one possibole explanation:

The Government did it, with their shadowy secret services and wierd alien technology from area 51.

Umm... not really. Just because one person happened to be elected who had a father that was president doesn't mean the country is turning into a monarchy.
