Screen cap: A third of Lebanon's coastline devastated by Israeli attack.

[Fridays Child]

From CNN, an airstrike on a power plant caused a 15,000 ton oil spill. The death and devastation are guaranteed to go on, long after the bombs and missiles are done with their share of the killing. This is just insane and it needs to stop. x(

1. MSMachine is late as usual

The Greens have been screaming about this disaster for three days. There were pictures on a blog.

3. As usual, is right.

It only took them six years to start reporting computer vote fraud. By that standard, I guess this environmental disaster story came out at the speed of light.

[partylessinOhio]

2. "Those" responsible are just pure evil. There is no justification for

bombing a power plant and releasing all that oil into the environment.

22. Uh, CuteNFuzzy?

Take your hand off the mouse and back away from your keyboard very slowly. There you go. Now, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and find your inner peaceful place. Omm.

(Whew!)

23. beware posting too many too fast or spam catcher with kick you off

if that happens, you have to email admin and ask to be reinstated. For the future. But thank you, that was good.

[The Magistrate]

As Well As Anyone Ever Expects, Sir

Would you appreciate an effort of yours being treated in this manner?

Do you think it will now be possible in this thread for anyone to have a sensible discussion on this matter, which many regard as of some importance?

36. Wait a minute -- there is nothing inappropriate about posting responses

-- actually, brilliant responses, that illustrate a point. Seeing a moderator post what you posted is alarming to me.

And there are people having a sensible discussion right now that many regard as of some importance.

[uppityperson]

38. Seems fine to me Mr.Magistrate sir and cutenfuzziness

This was posted sometime the last few days, had a talk about it, good to be posted again. But the discussion so far here seems fine to me. You are a moderator, have been one I believe more than once, but I respectfully disagree.

Edited to say to CuteNFuzzy, the points you make I think are all good. Too many cliches have been posted the last couple weeks.

Now, as to the point of the OP, environmental damage such as this, bah to anyone who thinks they can bomb anywhere anytime and not cause damage beyond what they planned. If they planned it, shame even more.

[CuteNFuzzy]

46. wow

even my apology was deleted.

I'm going to have to reconsider where I spend my time discussing these issues.

Have a wonderful evening everyone.

[MissB]

51. Here is a tip for a newbie.

Send a pm to an admin, protesting the deletions. Don't start a new post with a complaint - it'll rightfully be deleted.

[CuteNFuzzy]

54. no I dont want to argue

I made a point below, and that's it. Have a good night and also to the mods who do what they think is right.

[Behind the Aegis]

59. I have seen you discuss the issues.

Do you honestly think this display was discussing? If anything, it was as bad as someone screaming anti-Semitism, where there was none. You effectively killed conversation on the topic, and made it about your outburst.

[The Stranger]

35. The Lounge? Forget it -- this is a masterful deconstruction of propaganda

-- everybody take notes.

24. LOL, Cute and Fuzzy

That about covers it.

[sistersofmercy]

25. : ) I think you covered all the bases.

Thanks for the chuckle! It's a sad chuckle but a chuckle nonetheless.

[Behind the Aegis]

26. apparently, not to some.

[malaise]

27. That's CuteNFuzzy

and very effective

29. Just so you know, it's against DU rules to spam a thread or forum.

[uppityperson]

32. naw, it is something like more than 2 or 3 in a minute, or a bunch in

a couple minutes. Don't forget to pause between them.

[The Stranger]

37. Just so you know -- this is a masterful expression -- not spam.

It doesn't come anywhere near the definition of spam.

[EFerrari]

39. At all costs.

:(

[sistersofmercy]

40. Why are all those posted being deleted?

They were funny and made a point. :shrug:

[Emit]

41. Darn, I always miss those ones n/t

[sistersofmercy]

43. I'm asking because I've been on this thread and nothing offensive

was posted. It was funny as heck. Just a poster blowing off steam in a creative and humorous way.

[Behind the Aegis]

45. It was spamming a thread.

There is NO discussion about the OP, it has become all about the spam.

[sistersofmercy]

48. Whatever! It was not spam and it was funny.

But ok humor me what have you to say about the oil spill, huh?

[Behind the Aegis]

53. It was spam.

If a "pro-Israeli" poster had done the same thing, you'd be howling for deletions.

This thread should just be locked out right and the topic reposted.

The oil spill is horrific. The ecological damage will be felt for years to come.

[uppityperson]

60. Did you read the OP? it is about stopping bombing places

airstrike on a power plant causing massive oil spill, "This is just insane and it needs to stop." How about that?

[Behind the Aegis]

61. I did read the OP.

I made my comments.

[uppityperson]

63. Nothing on bombing a power plant and causing the spill?

just "wow, that spill is bad". Must've just happened, or been a mistake, or the waves were hiding hezbullah or (can't remember the rest of what cutenfuzzy wrote).

[Behind the Aegis]

64. .

:eyes:

[sistersofmercy]

62. Ummm, actually I wouldn't.

If hizbollah did this atrocious act I'd be laughing if someone from the "pro-israeli" camp posted the typical excuses for bad behavior from the other side. But then again I enjoy humor with my debate sometimes.

[Emit]

58. I missed it all, but now it looks like a

'Deleted message' spamming thread.

[uppityperson]

42. I must object to the deletions here. WHY? they made a point,

didn't hurt. I am registering my complaint through an alert to the mods.

[sistersofmercy]

44. I agree it's ridiculous! It was funny!

x( bahj to the deletion!

[ContraBass Black]

47. Spam filtering is automatic.

[sistersofmercy]

49. The posts were up for a while so someone must have complained

to get the posts removed.

[uppityperson]

50. spam filter works right away and ts's the poster.

messages stay. At least, that is what happened when the esteemed Mr.Pitt fell afoul of it last yr

[CuteNFuzzy]

52. Just one point and I am done

You all see what 'side' of the fence I'm on don't you

We are all up against forces more powerful and more extensive than we can imagine.

But I still have faith, that the side of love always wins like Gandhi has said.

Peace and good night DU

[Behind the Aegis]

55. huh?

"We are all up against forces more powerful and more extensive than we can imagine." :shrug:

[Mandate My Ass]

56. Peace and light to you too

thank you for your wonderful contribution.

[uppityperson]

57. CuteNFuzzy, you are not alone on this one.

peace and good night DU from me too. Off in sorrow.
