How do you feel when someone's reply to your message is deleted

[elperromagico]

before you get a chance to read it? Does it drive you crazy wondering what they said? Do you wonder whether the poster was tombstoned or just said something which broke the rules?

I mention this because a post of mine was replied to with a message that has since been deleted. It's very interesting indeed to check your posts for replies and discover that a post is listed as having "0 Replies." ;)

1. message deleted

2. I always wonder what they said

Recently I had a very innocent post where I just listed some polling numbers (Good for Kerry too) and someone had a post deleted. It made me wonder what was said.

7. I made a comment about Kerry and Vietnam,

agreeing with another poster that Kerry could have used his connections to avoid service in Vietnam. Apparently someone disagreed with me vehemently. Methinks it was a F*****r. :D

8. "Whoa, must have torqued-off SOMEBODY!"

Or maybe I got sexually propositioned and missed it (my Inbox works! hint-hint)

9. Perhaps some of the DU procedures do need tweaking

For your consideration:

Any ideas? I'm sure Skinner et al. would appreciate hearing them -- but "Ask The Administrators" is probably the best place to discuss them.

11. I don't really have any ideas.

I'm fine with the procedures as they are... but I'm always curious as to what somebody said to me to merit a deleted message.

10. I always assume it was a moderator "mistake"...

...I mean, you wouldn't believe how much they made me drink before breakfast as a moderatorizer. :D

12. What the fuck did they say?
