Why Was That Deleted?

Re: Men vs. Women post of a few minutes ago.

This was generating a huge response, which seems to indicate that it was an important topic.

Why isn't the reasoning for deletions made clear so that we know the ground rules better and can try and persuade the moderators when they seem to error?

Dark:

good to see you back. so our carfully crafted and spot-on arguments didn't sway you, huh???

[Tennessee_Bob]

Still bitter over that whole pilot thing, eh?

[d4now]

I know you have a beef with me,

You flatter yourself. I have no beef with you. In fact, I ignore you for the most part.

Rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter.

Bob you ignor HLL like the boy did in 5th grade who sat behind me.

DU is where anyone who ever questions any policy on Free Republic is from.

How very true.

If I remember correctly, Tennessee_Bob had some legitimate gripes in that other thread. I don't think he (or anybody else for that matter) was expressing a "pure hatred" for women. BTW, I'm just speculating here but I suspect that thread you posted was deleted because you accused everybody in that thread of expressing "pure hatred" for women, which is an inflammatory accusation and just not true. I think the unfairness of the court system with respect to divorce and custody issues is fair game for discussion. It seems that any women can walk into a police station and destroy the life of her husband with a single false accusation of abuse. But God help the men who might have something to say about it in a public forum like this. Why they must be "women haters" according to you.

I've known you here for quite a while and I've never locked horns with you before. Your threads before today always seemed reasonable to me and I actually enjoy reading them. Evidently you have a hair across your you-know-what with this issue though! Though I admit, I also have a hair across my you-know-what with this issue because I have seen so many male friends and family members devastated by vindictive women. One close friend still cannot see his kids unsupervised by social workers (who treat him like a criminal), all this because his wife claims he slammed the door shut on her foot during an argument and swore at her in front of the kids.

I'm not saying that all the men are blameless in divorce. But to have a man denied access to his children because a door got slammed on his wife's foot? (He admits to slamming the door and swearing in anger but says she was ten feet away from the door when he slammed it.) This is just not right. For what it's worth, the argument that precipitated the slamming of the door was that the wife (after kicking him out of the house) refused to let him come into the house to pick some personal items up. Had she simply gotten him the stuff he wanted (which she had no use for), he would have left quietly. The wife was just looking to provoke a confrontation so she would have a reason to take out a restraining order against him and thus gain leverage in court. This happens all the time.

BTW, I know there are two sides to every story. But I know this side is true because I was the one who drove him to the house to get his stuff. I never saw him enter the house at anytime. He simply slammed the door, yelled a little, and got back in the car.

If you are a newbie someone is invariable going to post that part of your profile page showing your "member since" date in an attempt to descredit the point you are attempting to make. Ignore it.

Thanks for the support. Happy to be part of the group.

In the meantime, keep ordering in those women from third world countries.

Already did, thank you. Smartest thing I ever did.

[riley1992]

It got nixed. So, I need to find someone to go with me. How fast can you make it here? Hahahahaha

[JZoback]

They would be mistaken if they believed that. FR isn't a governmental entity.

.....and I thank God everyday for it

"I call them "Saturday classics". If you back a ways you'll see lots of moose-cheese-sister stuff on Saturdays last winter"

OOOOOOooohh...k! I'm not usually FReepeing on Saturday evening, but Hubby's tired from mowing grass all day and vegging in front of the TV set, and the time just kinda got away from me. Over a hundred replies already....hmmmm....

[Skooz]

Nice! I have been drooling over an SG for about 5 years now. I just need to put off some bills and just buy one. Who needs water, anyway?

[riley1992]

and the irony is that it's really about nothing in particular!

ROTFL. I was just thinking the exact same thing when I read your reply.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Anyone who knew what T Bob has been through would think he is woman bashing when they read it, esp. if they turn a blind eye to the truth or go into something with their own agenda, or with their defenses up, and I think that is the case here, which is why the view of what Bob said on antoher thread was interpreted wrongly. And even if one didn't know, they can at least read and interpret it properly.

In other news, maybe this has something to do with it.

Guess who got the farm, the furniture, the electronics, the expensive crystal, the stocks?

You need to sue your divorce lawyer for malpractice. I live in Ohio too, and I can't figure out how you came out on the losing end so badly.

[riley1992]

Hi ya. Haven't seen you in a while. This one should get veeeeeery interesting, dontcha think?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Pilot thing? What's that?
