The original post in the Confessions thread was:
"I don't really like Iraqi people. Post your confessions here. Guilt free honesty. Forgiveness garenteed."
This is was the premise of the thread.
This is why the thread was deleted.
It would have been deleted without zhao adding flippant generalizations about Africans
It was not deleted because mistersloane mentioned blow jobs.
THERE IS NO MOD CONSPIRACY TO STIFLE FUN OR SILLY THREADS, NOR DISCUSSIONS OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
@ nomadologist
You didn't see the thread so it would be difficult for you to have an informed opinion about it.
There's a difference between the politics of the personal and confessional, more-extreme-than-though one-upmanship as in the D R U G S and S E X threads. It's the latter that was being criticized, and not from a moralistic standpoint.
To paraphrase your words: "It's a music forum. If you don't like something don't click on it."
Given the actual reason for the Confessions thread being deleted, I don't see how this is a relevant comment. Not to mention that polz and noel emits have been members since 2004.
@ noel emits
I'm still not sure how pointing out that people have left the forum over perceived intolerance makes me into a snooty elitist. First you agreed with the decision to delete the thread and then had a go at me for explaining the reasons.
