This is the most confusing tread I have ever read. I have had quite a few of my statements taken down because the mods thought they were inappropriate or not worthy of being on this site or I got carried away with another FREEPER. That is their job. I think the 50 dollars went to a great cause....Free Republic!!! Chalk it up to giving 50 dollars to a great cause and be done with it because you are confusing all the FREEPERS!!!!! lol.
Oh, well, it's really very simple. Ex 98C was thinking that a poster had posted something but it was really another poster altogether that posted it, and then it got deleted because it wasn't what the second poster (the first, really, but Ex98C thought he was the second) really posted, but another picture completely that was so nasty the Admin Mods deleted it but you could still see it if you hadn't refreshed the page between the time that the second poster (the first, really, but Ex98C thought he was the second) posted it and the time the Mod deleted it. Meanwhile, the first poster (the second, really, but Ex 98C thought he was the first) wondered what he was being blamed for and the second one (the first, really, but Ex 98C thought he was the second) wondered what happened to his post. Somewhere in there somebody wired Jim 50 bucks. I'd say it was a happy ending for all.
Except, of course, the first poster (who Ex 98C thought was the second) and the second poster (who Ex 98C thought was the first) were really confused - who really was on first? I don't know. THIRD BASE!!
Wait...
