A lot of sincere and painstaking effort was wiped out at the flick of a switch, all because it was "controversial".Perhaps you didn't notice, but that wholesale deletion cast such a pall over the place, there wasn't a new entry for nearly a week.

All we're talking about is freezing a CD. Even a caveman can do it.
That the whole project was quashed, was a slap in the face for those who participated. Who in the future will care to spend the time, knowing that the moderators so bleakly view anything that smacks of "controversial"?
and the only reason anyone (one inmate) got to the point of actually posting results was constant badgering by Posey Rorer. The project was not quashed, it simply died for lack of interest.

Efforts were made to civilize the discussion, but your buddy wasn't having it. Maybe next time he'll try to behave like a grown-up...Besides, like Geoff said, nothing is stopping you from freezing a CD yourself. "So easy, a caveman can do it!"
> > Efforts were made to civilize the discussion, but your buddy wasn't having it. Maybe next time he'll try to behave like a grown-up...Exactly. Plus the fact that Rod's policy is to delete on sight those who use proxy services in an effort to hide their true identity.

I was traveling a bunch when the deletions were made.
spoofed IP address at a German University, although climed to be US based.
In any event, the action of deleting posts for this seems like an odd way of dealing with the matter. Was he warned ahead of time that such action would ensue? This all leaves the impression as being an act of spite. If that's the case, what's the cause for this spite?
He was warned many times, but I am not going to waste time on this guy.
I was traveling extensively when these events took place.Speaking of Posy, you wrote
His behavour demonstrated real social problems.
When you stop and think about it, don't most of us here? ;-)
Have you noticed how Analog Scott is treating May Belt as we speak? Is his behavior any better than Posy's?
"This all leaves the impression as being an act of spite. If that's the case, what's the cause for this spite?"How can the absense of something lead to an impression of an act spite?
You came to a conclusion on the basis of nothing.
"When you stop and think about it, don't most of us here? ;-)"
Yes, of course, including me.
But, as others have found here, really nasty personal and spiteful tirades get slapped down, especially afer weeks of warnings.
Anyway, enough said, these are all IMO.
Had I done so my commentary would be more likeWhy has the bored acted out of spite?
The 'potential' act of spite is the mass deletions of Posy Rorer's posts and the other postings deep sixed along with them. Perhaps there were very good reasons for this, if so, I missed them. I missed the warnings you allude to, presumably because I wasn't around here much at the time.
My personal opinion is that Posy Rorer is VERY good for this place. Heaven knows, we have enough of the opposite polarity to contend with. Please make allowance for the fact that I may not have seen anything nasty because of my absence. Allow too that I may not have viewed a post as nasty because of some bias. There's no question in my mind that bias blinds.
If I were to draw a conclusion, it would be that 'squeeky wheels get greased'. I have hit the comment button a number of times myself and have found the moderators actions to be appropriate. I think they do a great job around here. I do wonder some about this Posy matter though. It would be good to know the details. Therefore I ask.
