>"Most reasonable readers wouldn't see my original post as contentious at all. It's factual, backed by an example, not demeaning in any way, and a topic of conversation for computers and music appliances."
Abe, I saw the OP, and was about to respond to it when the screen came up, "post deleted by AbeC." I figured you had thought better of it and deleted it, because very few people like to dance on other peoples misery.
Then I saw it pop back up 30 mins later. I guess TL posted a response before the deletion finalized? Damn computers! Better luck next time.
A bigger man might have tried to reel it back in as best he could. Nope, you have buffalo'd all day. For two days in fact.
BTW, your original statement is a Truism. Like; if you save money everyday, and do it for many years, then one day you will have a lot of money. Wisdom for the ages don't you think?
You drive a BMW right? Then I'm sure you know what it's like to be at the mercy of the dealership's service dept.
Not trying to be too hard on you. There are many ways to save face.

Oh, and if you repeat "there was nothing contentious..." enough times, you may make yourself believe that it is indeed the truth. Don't think it works for others though, looking at the results of that innocent, non-contentious post.
I though this might be helpful...
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. Yes I posted, deleted, reworded, then reposted. Nothing tricky or underhanded.
Have I said something untrue or 'contentious' to warrant the crazy behavior by a couple inmates who seem to have lost their minds?
If you read and understood my post, your BMW analogy doesn't quite fit, IMHO.
If you reposted then it's my mistake, and I'm sorry if I speculated otherwise.

Woeways us ES owners. We got it rough. Now back to the beautiful music.
I have no idea what "post and delete" is, or why anybody would want to do it, or what is to be gained by it. Have you ever heard of it?

There is a peculiar dance afforded by this particular and unique forum software, called "post and delete". After you have been around for a few years you will learn how to deal with this. Sometimes this is intentional on the part of the poster/deleter, sometimes not.
One other thing to be concerned about is that sometimes entire threads or sub-threads are 86'ed. This follows from the software capabilities provided to the moderators. Sometimes a highly creative and innocent post gets deleted as a result of "collateral damage" when the moderator felt he had to delete a particularly offensive post. (With experience, you will learn how and when to make your own personal archive of interesting threads where this is likely.)

Thanks for the heads up.
I'm new, but I have caught on to some of the more obvious tricky tricks. It's funny but strange that people pull them.
