Hi Tina!
Don't be afraid to join in any time! We all had to at one time (nearly two years ago in my case) just jump in when ever you feel like it.

Hi Everyone & Thank You :):)

I am hoping that it was by accident also, it is easily done when in a website control panel and clicking a thread to delete, more so if it is right next to a confrontational one. I have done that myself in the past, Embarrasing at the time but I admitted to the error.

I am hoping that it was done accidentally by GR. As I posted on another thread, I understand that GR are notifying people now if a post / thread is removed.

By the way, just a point about sending a pm to someone - a non-paying member would not be able to do this.

Off topic - Sally, there is a thread addressed to you by Lou; remember you asked her a question at the end of her thread the other day?

Can't see why either thread would be pulled.

I suspect it was for security, I refuse to believe it was from a complaint...it was so lovely.

I hope you find out why it was removed.

If it was a complaint, I hope the person/persons pm you to tell you why.

Hi Everyone

Re: The removal of the Please Introduce yourselves thread

As you can imagine I am in a deep thinking mood at the moment.

I never deleted this myself, so it would have had to have been either a complaint or Genes themselves removed this for whatever reason.

I will be contacting them to ask why.

I will say though, if this was removed out of spite, malice or sheer jelousy then the person/persons complaining had best use the bite your tounge thread now as you only serve to make me a stronger person. I will still introduce myself and hopefully others will introduce themselves to me to. Spite malice and jelousy bear no weight with me whatsoever, I laugh at you today .

If the thread was removed for genuine reasons then I respect that, may be someone asked for it to be removed for security reasons, I would have no reason to hold that against you at all.

If genes removed it accidently, as sometimes can happen, I know I have been in that position myself then whats done is done and I accept that to.

Hopefully Genes will do the curtesy of responding to a mail to them today. I can only hope so.

Meanwhile I am on my way out but will be back a little later.
