Turn the other cheek to it like a True Christian.

What are you doing giving away the end, anyhow?

It would have to be up to Peace to give away the end, which would result in......

Nah, he wouldn't just give it away like that!

If it's called "The Middle Ages" does that mean they know when the end is? Same question for "Middle Aged."

Well, there are no Old Whippersnappers and no Young Fogeys. Maybe true Middle Age

I had a friend who was divorced and had had a number of 'interesting' relationships with men she had met, including one she had been involved with for a couple of years, and who had been helping her renovate her house. He rang one day to say he just had to 'jump in the shower' and then he'd be over - and she never heard from him again.

She decided to write a book based on her assorted bizarre experiences, and was going to call it "Love in the Middle Ages".

I haven't seen her for a while, so I don't know if she ever wrote it.

Sorry, I'll grab my protective suit and hang up the "Gone Fission" sign on the door on the way out and go off and catch some rays.....

Why does my post keep getting deleted?

I want mudcatters to vote against the BNP in a local derby newspaper poll to stop the bastards holding their nazi camp, and mudcat keeps removing my post.

What is going on?

If you want to discuss controversial subjects like the BNP, then we're going to have to know who you are. You're welcome to register as a member with a real name and a real e-mail address (which we will not reveal to the public), and then you can choose a member name like "Guthrie's Guitar" and post with more freedom. But if we don't know who you are, how can we be sure you're not here just to stir up trouble?

If you posted as a guest below the line, then your post will be deleted, you must use constant identity, even as a guest, as you have just done by calling yourself Guthrie's Guitar.
There have been several BNP threads on Mudcat, and they have all ended in acrimony, so that's possibly why your previous posts were deleted.
Also can't see what good signing a petition will do, when did the authorities ever take any notice of petitions?

Guest, you're right - wrong place. If a local newspaper wants input from local people, a load of opinions from folks from all over the globe who heard about it on a USA based website and want to butt in aren't going to actually make the poll less effective. In fact, outsourcing the voting will likely make the opposition look weak and desperate.

I think the posts were likely deleted because of what Giok said. A thread about the BNP is an instant flame war.
