    In my observations of mod-merged threads, it's usually a desire to hide the new thread's opposite (always conservative) message to delete it's impact.

    Maybe it just seems that way, but it definitely does seem that way.

    Is this how, Trump derangement syndrome actually looks?

    I merged the threads. Chris has nothing to do with it. Insult me all you want, it's perfectly fine. Keep insulting staff and I will delete those posts. It's not that difficult.

    I did not insult anyone. He was on duty when the threads I created were deleted. I asked if he did it? His response was has I posted. I expect this is intended as
    and insult but I don't really give a shit.

    Craig's response. "No and I don't give two fucks about your threads. Ask Sly"

    Since you seem to be the one that did it , then you can explain what the fuck you did or why. I can't even recognize my post from what you did.

    Perhaps you don't give two fucks about my post either. But then Let us talk about what the fuck the purpose of the forum is supposed to be.

    Cute!
    I knew you were going to say this. Now let us speak of the Off Topic Section and why you deleted my post in this section.

    Where? Please point it out to everyone.

    Btw, it appears to me that staff is insulting members. This one specifically.

    Well @SlyPokerDog seem hell bent on insulting this conservative member.
    It does seem strange. But I guess the last few days have been a strain.

    Well if my posts / threads have ever been a problem no one has PM’d me to tell me so maybe its just a matter perspective.

    I am also not sure what threads you believe were merged or deleted so I will admit right off the bat maybe Im not educated enough to speak well on the subject.

    It bothers me though, over all so many threads are about the same things, with the same arguements, with the same groups of people insulting each and sometimes worse insulting entire groups of people, that if a few of them go missing it doesnt feel like were losing much. Last count there were like 7 threads on the main page all about Mueller dating back like 6+ months, merge them all why not? They’re all the same stuff...

    In terms of mods changing posts, I think personally Id rather have my post deleted, I dont have to defend something I didnt actually say if a mod changed it. However its not my forums or my rules, so whatever happens is fine I suppose.

    The reason why this thread triggers me so much though, it seems like a thread that going into it nothing good was going to come of it. If you wanted to have a serious discussion thread deletions and merging, you could PM a mod, or start a thread that doesnt right start off like you’re in attack position, mods are people too and when you put them in a place of having to be defensive you change it from a discussion tonan arguement. Saying “what triggers a mod to do this??? out in public without much explanation seems off base to meZ
