EB, although you may think the big guy deleted his posts out of childess reasons, I can tell you that it had nothing to do with it. He had a fall out with board management and deleted his posts. He then used the blue board to post his "adventures". Hal left for the same reason, board censorship of information. Edited M4
Thanks,
I had fallouts with Board management on many occasions and never deleted my posts because of them (I did delete posts for privacy reasons). I was suspended by Board management for properly criticizing other members and did not delete my posts. It is pure myth that either of these posters had a valid reason to delete their posts. I will say it again,
CHILDISHNESS, SELFISHNESS, EGOMANIA, were the reasons they deleted their posts, and it happened on more than one occasion and on more than one board. It's not even a point that needs to be argued because the actions speak for themselves. Your reasoning makes no sense, Stardust - a Board is perceived to sponsor censorship, so what you do in response is CENSOR your own posts and deprive other members of information (or, in Oliver's case, alleged information)? Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's stop the bullshit and call a spade a spade, Stardust. It's called "flunky logic", and while we could accept hearing that from Mr. K, I am really surprised you, even as his erstwhile mouthpiece, would sink to that level of nonsensical reasoning.
Oliver Kloseoff may have had some contributory posts in the street thread but he also posted a lot of bullshit and/or pure speculation on things he did not have the facts on, posted repeatedly in a manner that degraded women, and if there was even a mild criticism of any of his postings, he would respond with flaming, tantrums, and occasionally deletion of the thread (also happened on the other Board). In at least one case a thread was properly deleted by him, but only because it made him look foolish and exposed that some posts of his that were pure, 100% bullshit. MADE UP. There are a lot of people who would very strongly object to him posting on this Board, but those people would never say so publicly because they fear his crude, childish flames. In fact the vast majority of senior posters I have spoken to and at least two members of blue board management have told me the same things in private.
I am not in any way defending MERB, am not a part of this Board's management and never have been, but any perceived "censorship" or other criticism of the way a Board is run should not be responded to with a dramatic and egotistical deleting of posts. You don't like the way a Board is run, LEAVE, don't cry. You don't see me posting on the Blue Board do you? Stardust did you check lately to see how many posts I have on the Blue Board? I am probably in the top 5 posters there despite not having posted there in probably 6 months. I never deleted anything, I just left, no pomp or ceremony. I have also left MERB for periods but never felt the need to give a dramatic statement as to why, delete my posts or whatever. Those are the things that Board egomaniacs do. If the size of anyone's ego is based on their status on a particular Board than I say that is a very sad person.
