A note to future self-deleters

[iceman]

If you want to erase your tracks, have at it. No one cares. But you can't just delete threads that you started, because not everything in there is by you. You can delete your posts, but you can't delete other peoples' posts. Very poor form. Got it?

Woulda thought this was self-evident, yeesh.

[JoeStrummer]

I disagree.

[Lone Star]

"can't" as in "shouldn't"?

[iceman]

Can't as in it's very poor form. It's just not done.

[JoeStrummer]

I dont know, man. Lets say I start an alias whinging about wanting to leave my wife because I have been living a lie for years and suddenly realize cock and hairy backs is where its at. Like REALLY hairy backs, like so hairy it makes that Russian / Wookie hybrid dude who is always hanging out in Glenwood Hot Springs look like Michael Phelps. But she has the money and supports my lifestyle and even pays for my heli-skiing and a new pair of Wailers every year. When my dick stopped working I just let her think it was because of all that weight she couldn't lose after our last kid.

So part of me just wants to continue living the lie for the sweet hookups and use her $$$ for sex tourism to keep my demons at bay. (Obviously I make up a lie, like I need the money and time away for an immersion Spanish class in Cuernavaca. And she is such a dumb clueless cow that she.doesnt catch on a few weeks after I am back when we go out for tapas and I can't understand anything on the menu or even have a basic exchange with the waiter. "Castillian Spanish is entirely different than Mexican Spanish," I explain to her.)

Also I like to wrap copper wire around my balls REAL tight and is it a problem that I cant stop doing it, even at work? I just sit there in a meeting with some assholes from Finance and it feels like my wontons are about to fall off. So delicious. But that cant be good long-term, right?

My thread generates the usual TGR mixture (96% bile and hatred and snark and 4% useful information and advice.) For pages. Then when I wake up in the morning and am sober, I realize what I have done and that I thought I had used an alias but I hadn't. And I ski with a bunch of you dudes and now a couple of you are going to know what was really up with that roll of copper wire in our condo at Big Sky last winter.

And you are saying I cant delete that thread because someone else posted in it telling me I was a cum-guzzling mooch who should use that spool of copper wire to fucking hang myself from a bridge?

[abraham]

Even if you delete it someone will remind you that they know. See almost every mtngirl thread

[Lone Star]

just another awesome perk of being stubbornly moderation-free.

Remarkably detailed hypothetical situation... I hope you can find some peace. Seriously though, well done.

A Pantsuit trilogy-worthy post??

This is the funnyass shit that makes the foundation of this crazy place! Move this post to Hall of Fame...do not pass go.


I'm going to bed. You guys can sort it out in the morning.

Yes. Bravo.

In that case, I'd say it's okay to delete it. But that's just me. I'll defer to ice.

Is this a challenge?

[Cruiser]

While I'm not generally a big fan of deleting threads, I sorta like the way that occasionally doing it keeps the world from getting to predictable. It's nice to know that I'm just a little cheerio floating along randomly in that big cosmic bowl of breakfast and that, at any time and completely without warning, the universe could just come and take a big ole bite out of my little milky world.

[Danno]

What thread was deleted? I totally agree with ice, but Strummer does make a compelling counterargument.

[skifishbum]

don't phase me to lose a few posts when dumbfucks like cliffhucker and ride it pull their heads outta their ass realize their giant turd of a thread sucks and flush the loo

[Buster Highmen]

I knew that would rankle you, but I don't really see it that way, especially in light of the content.
I'm all about the self e-molation occasionanly, so I'm not following M. Le Scummers line, but that was a sore topic for me.
It's not like F. Scot Fitzgerald is getting some baudy gin soaked tale of selfish debauchery deleted.

Individual rights are generally supreme but in no real life situations like this is responsibility or control dynamically democratic or fair. So this is one in which I will make that decision for others.

[huckbucket]

I'm thinking Ice's master plan is for his TGR activity to be his legacy ... nay ... "gift to the world" as it were. And what a beautiful gift it would be.

Bravo JS as usual.

[liv2ski]

What thread was deleted? I totally agree with ice, but Strummer does make a compelling counterargument.

Looking at page 1, I am guessing the Divorce Lawyer in SLC??? I could care less if a thread gets deleted in here, unless of course JS posted in it. Then that just isn't right.

[powtario]

Cache everything and start sending out little reminders about how good that copper wire feels in snail mail. That way the target and usps will know.
And I imagine usps would be totally into it.

Thankful joe is back.

Also, look at the average number of posts by users in this thread.

[Mofro261]

so what happened with Splat?
