FYI, the real post #1,769 was deleted, unnecessarily, arbitrarily, and capriciously IMHO, by the mods, without notice or reason.

There are so many wonderful things in life on which to spend my time. The mods are beginning to convince me that AAC is not one of them.
Many have already jumped this ship.

You mentioned a president by name. Let's see if your post gets deleted.

#1769 was deleted (not by me) for the reasons stated - it was judged to be moving into overt political discussion in the jokes thread and was Off Topic. We have had many political discussions here for better or worse but this is not the thread for that.

I deleted RK's posts because they were nonsense.

This was not the reason given. So Wendy lied?

Regardless, I disagree. Be brave. Restore the original post and let the interested membership decide if you've drawn the correct conclusion.

The mods log says 'Off Topic'. Wendy did indicate in her response to you that the reason it was judged political was mentioning a president by name and offering your opinion of same - that kind of fits the definition of politics. I read the post and also thought it was overt politics, regardless whether you named the president or not.

I know you disagree, but you asked for an explanation and there it is.

If you want to make your political point have at it in another thread.

Look at the post above it. It remains. Why?

I've made it through the first 600 or so jokes and they contain almost every US president's name (except Polk but Polk-a-dot is mentioned so, I guess that counts). Also presidents and Prime ministers from Germany, Canada, France, Mexico and dictators from Iraq, N. Korea, Libya and various other countries.

This thread will be decimated if policies were enforced to any degree. I am guessing a particular mod just doesn't like you.
