Why Was That Deleted?

Re: Men vs. Women post of a few minutes ago.

This was generating a huge response, which seems to indicate that it was an important topic.

Why isn't the reasoning for deletions made clear so that we know the ground rules better and can try and persuade the moderators when they seem to error?

You're a male, just like me, so you might as well just admit that you don't know what you're talking about, no matter what kind of experience you have had.

You may go back to DU now.

Just don't offer me Jordan Almonds, I cracked a tooth on one back in '95...

How many times have you read of people asking for answers via Freepmail and never receiving so much as a, "Beat it."? If this is what it takes to get an answer, good, then let them do it and let us all see why is was removed.

On post # 20 he admits to being a newbie and not knowing that.

Misogyny is defined as "hatred of women." I don't see any hatred of women over there. I do see a lot of folks that are tired of women's attitudes and actions.

Of course, if you want to consider that misogyny, then you also need to admit that there is quite a bit of misandry going on there as well.

It's very clear that though some men are genetically male, they have no clue what it means to be a man.

This is all new to me, I've only been contributing for a couple of days. It seemed like a logical question.

Trust us, it is better to ask the moderators instead of the "I'll show you" all in one complaint thread.

I was not gripping -- the deleted thread was not mine. I was puzzled because it seemed like a legitimate topic, and the many participants apparently agreed.

everbody has to start somewhere; get a grip....

Care to tell us what it means to you??

That thread is Misogyny Central.

Misanthropy is more like it. Check out some of SouthernFreebird's posts. Again, I respectfully submit that the thread attacks a vile, corrupt institution; that being the Domestic Court system.

In other words, hide rather than have the courage to state your questions openly? Very nice.

It's just common courtesy to ask why a post got pulled rather than air it for all to see. It probably was pulled for a good reason. I have had a couple pulled myself over the years

Never forget we are JimRobs guests.

Let's see... it sure sounds like misogyny when some moron can't come up with a better answer than 'You sound like an American woman who can't get a date.'

[happytobealive]

I'm new -- what's "DU"?

[dirtboy]

How many times have you read of people asking for answers via Freepmail and never receiving so much as a, "Beat it."?

Sometimes the answer is rather obvious, so the mods probably don't bother - there actually was a newbie today who posted a vanity titled "Christian Nazism - My Vision For A New America". But if it is a fair question (not related to obviously out of line posts), in my experience they will answer it.

[buccaneer81]

You're right Bob. How could I have forgotten?

[winodog]

This thread may turn out to be just as entertaining as the the other one was bound to become.
