Used my Linux Mint 20 Pc to post some text the other day and it disappeared. That supports the theory that it was not just a Windows 11 problem. Rather than wasting any more time with disappearing text, I'm going to retire from Free Republic. RIP.

Sounds like a personal problem.

He thinks he’s being shadow banned.
His thread is appearing.
He can check his comment history.

It’s because you didn’t use this command when Bill tried to get into the way:
What is rm RF /*?
sudo rm -rf /* ( -r means to remove directories and their contents recursively and -f to ignore nonexistent files and arguments and never prompt for confirmation and /* just expands to everything in / ) removes everything in / and as you found out with /boot/efi this also includes mounted filesystems.Jun 29, 2021

Disappearing text? Are you sure you didn't make the text color white or something?
You're from Texas, surely you can come up with something better than this!
To: RetiredTexasVet
Oh no, you’re not going anywhere. You’re staying right here until you write a better opus.

There is probably missing text so do be so dismissive. One for the ages!
