The mods are here to delete threads and accounts if necessary. Judging from the replies a lot of people were interested in what happened yesterday. If a thread irritates you, move on like most of us do.
A quick check shows you have posted about 30 times on this “vanity” thread. You also went off topic on the football thread yesterday to discuss FR’s downtime. With all due respect, what does a football thread have to do with politics? Isn’t that kind of like a vanity? So you see how this works? A little leeway is given here and there. It seems to me that every time you post you are violating the “simple and reasonable request” rule you keep harping on.
