    And which of those were mine? If you can point to a time in this thread where I skirted the rules I'd like to know.

    When did I type something in this thread worth deleting? :dunno:

    I thought it was a Hindu symbol of peace and like positive karma and stuff. Now that it's been co-opted by murderous racists, what was once a beautiful symbol is now completely forbidden. That's really fucked up.

    I have no idea which posts @Strenuus deleted/removed but I know that he's a good dude and not going to abuse his mod super powers. It's not easy going into a thread and try to put out fires. Why not just move on?

    Melo is not a great player anymore, but these superteams are getting ridiculous. The way to build a contender in today's NBA... Clear a ton of salary.... Attract a top 4 player in the NBA via free agency.... then just soak up all the ring chasers..... There is no real way for small market teams to compete.

    Considering I'm pretty good at attacking the post, not the poster.
    @SlyPokerDog @PtldPlatypus can both attest to this.
    And considering both posts I made, attack the post. Not the poster.
    You can keep your feelings and just follow the forum guidelines.

    As anyone thought to just ask @FlashWad to change his avatar instead of assuming it's being used for racist reasons?

    Just 2 of the posts @Strenuus removed of yours:

    Not the worst personal insults I've seen but they are personal insults.

    I'm gonna concur. Saying someone is being a child is commenting on them personally, not on their post.

    First one is not an insult as it says 'response.' Therefore it targets the post, not the poster.
    Second one isn't any worse than his response of 'who even are you'.

    If he's allowed and that post is STILL THERE. Then why is mine considered a personal insult?
    If you're going to delete one, then the other should be deleted as well.
    However it wasn't. Is it because he's not american and there is a language barrier? I didn't know that rule existed.
    Or is it because Stren rarely moderates. So much so that in the past you've had to beg him to do something. Therefore anything he does gets your gold stamp of approval regardless.

    Also, I'm pretty sure I deleted one of those. Not any of you.
    But it doesn't matter, you people have already made your decision to moderate some one way based on your feelings. Yet ignore a different insult.
    Cute.

    Yes, you did delete one. My bad.

    I try to be very objective and I know that @Strenuus and @PtldPlatypus do too. Again, we miss things. It happens. It's not because we like a person or don't like a person or because of feelings. I'm looking at what Stren did and it looks to me like he was trying to end the arguments and get the thread back on track. I also see that a thread started by B4E was deleted so I don't think he's being favorited.

    I gotta go, can we all just let this go and move on to talking about how much Melo sucks?

    Funny thing is, if someone wants to end arguments as a mod. It would behoove them to delete and then not say anything.
    Instead he decided to say things, which in turn for people following the thread. Had them go back and look at what was deleted. Then when they see insults missed. It it's logical that one insult is being allowed. Where the other isn't.
    Therefore it allowed people to talk about the deleted posts for how many more additional pages?
    I say 5-1 chances are no one would've known their posts got deleted if he didn't seek a gold star of approval.

    You guys need to give @SlyPokerDog a break. He's allowed to miss things, as this past week/weekend he was dealing with something pretty significant.

    That is an interesting and likely valid point. Can't speak for others, but I think I will make an effort to take this tack when deleting/editing.
