My intensely detailed and thoughtful thread was deleted without any explanation. This is the kind of censorship I expect from the so called tolerant left but I thought the new playground forum was a place for vigorous debate (and a little fun)? I demand augie be demodded immediately and replaced with someone who isn't in thrall to the PC brigade.

I will now spend 500 posts rehashing my points (that were so unfairly deleted) and repeating my demands in an increasingly strident manner. Simple explainations such as my thread was total garbage WILL NOT SATISFY ME!

So the mods didn't like how to poll was turning out so they deleted the thread? Who was leading at the time?

I think it was "the amazing race" on CBS ironically but I was waiting for a more significant sample size.

I know I have ok color vision, and yet not hugely impaired memory (so I think), weren't you green, tomdemaine?

Looks I have a reason to go to the Playground.

PS: how do I find it, can't see it in the side bar?

Once upon a time. Gamekeeper turned poacher. Was willing to work for free when I respected the idea of 2+2 (smart people vigorous debate and a little fun) but in practice that respect drained away as it became obvious that the reality is quite different because of the way the site is run. Working for free to make a rich man richer is odd enough. Working for free to make a rich man you fundamentally disagree with on a large number of important issues richer is a step beyond odd.

It was a dumb troll thread. About as serious as this OP.

Giving OP a forum is really the only solution here.
