Just a question...are explanations given when threads are removed? The moderator is the only one who can remove a topic correct? Because the Trent Lott topic started by Wise Seeker was removed while I was on the board today and also the topic started by BBB that was addressed to me...could that be explained please? Adiaphora?

Thanks,
Shell

Thanks for the question, shell.

As moderator, I very rarely delete threads. If I do delete threads, I always contact the author personally, and I almost always post an explanation to everyone else. Today I deleted two threads without explanation, because 1) I thought that very few, if any people had actually read them (in one case, only 4 people had read the post) and 2) I was in dialogue with the authors via email 3) I wanted to be discrete and not call undue attention to the issues involved.

I don't intend to make a habit of this. When I delete a thread or post, I have no way of knowing who has read the post. So if you have read a post and notice that it has disappeared, feel free to contact me via email about it if you're wondering what happened.

If similar situations arise in the future, I will post a notice that a thread has been deleted, and if people who have already read it are curious about why, they can contact me personally.

Sorry about the confusion, and thanks once again for the question.

Shell: oops. I'm sorry to all involved... I didn't even think of emailing you personally. I'll do that.

I'm still glad you asked, because other people may have been wondering and because it is good feedback for me. In order to avoid causing concern and confusion in the future, I will at minimum post a notice that a thread has been deleted and invite people with questions to contact me via email. adiaphora

Shell,

I had said in my post that if adiaphora felt that it was necessary to delete my post because of "TMI" (to much information), then to go ahead and do so. Though I did not recieve any notification as to the exact reasons why, I do hope she understands the intention of my post.

Hi Brandon,

I appreciated your candidness. Could you repost it with less specific information? The message (your intent) was very clear to me, and very touching.

BBB and shell, I sent emails to both of you this morning. BBB, I sent one to you about an hour after you posted your "Dedication" thread. Shell, I sent one to you very shortly after you posted your "Re:dedication" thread. Have either of you received them yet? Thanks, adiaphora

Adiaphora...no I didn't recieve the email but that is my fault. I hadn't updated my email on my profile. It is correct now. We posted almost at the same time and I was wondering the same thing about mine to you.

I'm not at home and I can't access my email from here--I can only send it...or at least I thought I was sending email....I'll let you know if I received your message later this evening.

I thought Doc's thread on the modal> ~subjunctive <>~bivalence whatnot was complicated, but this one takes the cake. By the time we're done, we will debunk the law of noncontradition once and for all. adiaphora

I have not recieved any e-mail notification from adiaphora as of yet. Shell, I will be happy to repost what I wrote, (with less info of course) but I think the proper thing to do would be to wait until further notice from adiaphora.

Gee, I hope I didn't cause a HUGE ruckus.

Shell, I received your email and responded yesterday evening using the updated email address you gave me. Brandon, I tried resending my message from yesterday. I didn't get an error message about it, so it must be lost in cyberspace somewhere. Let me know if either of you are still not getting my messages. Thanks. adiaphora

I recieved the email from Adiaphora. Thanks Adiaphora, I really appreciated the response and interaction! Brandon is your email address in your profile correct?

Also, the ruckus causer would be me This really got bigger than it needed to be! I hope all of this doesn't detract from the heart of what you were sharing. I hope you and Adiaphora can connect...


Blessings,
Shell

Hey Shell,

I finally got adiaphora's e-mail. Thanks adiaphora. Two things. Yes, my e-mail is correct in my profile. And I am still not sure as to how I should go about reposting or even if I should. I was hoping adiaphora could give me some guidance other than what she sent to me by e-mail. As the Meph Man would say, "Holla."
