It would seem that yet again one of my threads has been deleted without any notice whatsoever from the MODS.

And no one was even flaming on this thread. The dialogue was relatively civil.

So what gives here?

Am I in Zimbabwe? Venezuela? Iran? Cuba?

Or did I cross the DMZ of Cyberspace?

If my thread asking why Koreans don't say "excuse me" is actually here or moved to another forum, I will be the first to apologize publicly to the MODS.

But I fear that is not the case.

They say posting here is a privilege. Not if it involves arbitrary censorship or censorship to cast the host country in a positive light.

Well, now you're approaching Steve Scherzer territory; this one drew a smile from me. Keep up the effort and soon you'll be creating comedy gold.

Isn't that Chavez territory? The country where everything is being bought up and/or confiscated by the government in a completely tactless slide into dictatorial communism? One of the few leaders of the world who makes Bush look like a genuinely good person?

It must've been deleted by a Korean. A foreigner would've said "excuse me" first.

Picking up on the previous thread, I noted that Koreans are very good at pushing. Here is an academy that teaches the technique for those who are interested:

Articulate observation once again, Mr. Warsaw. Perhaps thou is a tad jealous that most of my threads get many times the response rate of yours. Or perhaps you're just childish.

pkang:

If the topic annoys you, then why bother reading it and posting here?

3/4 of those "responses" are people mocking you for your ALL CAPS HEADINGS. If your superedumacated head wasnt up your arse all day you would notice that Stevarooni.

take a good look at this thread Steve, I think EVERYONE is mocking you.

WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE POSTS ABOUT MODERATOR ISSUES INSTEAD OF JUST SENDING A PM TO A MODERATOR?

HAHA NO OFFENSE TO MY GOOD BUDDY WOLAND, BUT SEEING HIM FLIPPING OLLIES WOULD HAVE ME ON THE GROUND FOR WEEKS LAUGHING.
