You may have missed the following editting comment as it was inserted into an existing post and did not refresh the thread.

What it shows is that empty messages and empty threads get deleted. Some may contend that a blank message is a statement - but at Mudcat, like it or not, it gets deleted.
Your three threads were deleted by volunteer/Clones because they were simply empty messages, which the Clones have authority to delete. The men's thread had to wait for my review because it got responses before the Clones got to it - I deleted it because it was started under deceptive and manipulative premises.
Not inconsistent - it just doesn't follow YOUR predictions. The topics, while they may have been distasteful, weren't the reason for deletion - they were deleted because YOU were playing manipulative games.

The message appears to be that there are only a certain few who are now allowed to play (what are assumed and judged by them to be) deceptive and manipulative games and to set the example of posting maliciously intended name-calling and personal attacks...........

Rather than being expected to support this hypocrisy - perhaps adult posters can now be left to decide such things for themselves? Rather than have anonymous and favoured fellow posters operating under a double standard - judging and assuming the intent and worth of posters and deciding for them?
