[Always Right]

I spent about ten minutes refuting a DUmmy....

Life is too short.

Assume that DU threads won't last.

Aggravating, isn't it.

Some my best compositions never got posted for that same reason.

It was pulled between the time you hit "post reply" then the "post" to post your message.

It was good practice save it for when he is reincarnated...

Practice makes perfect!

"I spent about ten minutes refuting a DUmmy, and when transmitting the response, the response was, "Thread has been pulled."

I just had the same thing happen to me and it's so frustrating. I don't post often but when I do I put a lot of thought and time into it so when ready to post to be told it's a no-go is maddening!

To make matters worse, they don't even give you a clue as to the reason it was pulled. At least that would be some consolation. I am not one who is "up" on all things political though I am trying to learn more all the time, and this site is a big part of it, so I don't necessarily understand their reasons for pulling certain threads. A general reason given would sure help educate me!

There's a couple minute 'lag' time when we pull a thread or post. It's how the software of FR works.

I've had the same happen to me, in fact, it happened today with a headline about clinton having a heart attack. AT least I didn't spend 10 minutes on my post, thankfully.

They don't pull threads on Krusgnet.

[al baby]

that sure stunes my beeber when that happens, but its better than getting oneself booted from posting replys
for being a bad little freeper

[Belisaurius]

Refute them with a thunderbolt, nothing else. Doesn't take more then ten seconds.

[Tribune7]

That's happened to me too.

Be short, be quick or be cut o

:~)

It was pulled after you started writing. It happens.

BTW, why did you post this one?

[ladyinred]

I tried to respond to this thread earlier but it said the thread had been pulled!

[L.N. Smithee]

I authored a thread based on a Ted Rall column predicting malicious mischief from New Yorkers on RNC delegates, including STD-infected hookers who would eschew condoms when screwing perceived GOP johns. It vanished almost instantly. I wasn't aware Rall columns were banned from FR sometime earlier.

More aggravating than that was when I spent the better part of an hour on a thread that I put a lot of thought in, and put it in the "Editorial" category (not "Breaking News"). An hour later, it was removed from the sidebar, banished to "Bloggers & Personal." Other vanity posts are allowed in "Editorial" What was wrong with mine?

Happened to me just the other day. I was really giving the troll what for too. Went to post and *poof* thread pulled. Man, I hate it when that happens. Too many trolls, too little time.
