Please put it back... Thanks, Rick

Didn't you think that pulling this post would just start another arguement? This is not the time for it. C'mon..Give us a break...

Susan

Perhaps Melissa or her family deleted it, that capability is there for them to do it. She learned a great deal from all of you. It is, maybe her choice now.

Are you kidding me Rick? this is the goodieness and light message board.Only endless posts about folks asking which hotel Ramons vs Sunbreeze are allowed.. Subjects that require thought or are politically incorrect are not allowed..

harsh Deano. Sounds like this board is just awful!

didn't see the post. been watching something else.

Not like you Deano to be so quick to assume. In the past you've always been responsible and lots of help with over ten years of experience visiting Belize.

I was happy to leave the entire thread up, but as NYgal said, it may be that Melissa or her family deleted it. I don't know, do you for sure?

I hope Melissa continues to post. I want her to know that as far as I am concerned, she is very welcome on this board. Melissa, if you want to contact me with questions, send me an e at:

sandcrab@bigfoot.com

Melissa, feel free to join in the chat area too. Belize us, you are one of the clan.
We will also look forward to your trip travelogue, when you return from your upcomming vacation.

Ditto.

Jim

OK, Marty says he didn't do it. Sandcrab says he didn't do it. Melissa says she didn't do it. Why does the Capt. that did do it, not have the intenstinal fortitude to step up and say that he/she did do it and why?

You are pretty opinionated when deleting threads, so let's hear from you.

Does it really matter, now?

NYgal, most things don't matter in light of current events.

However, we are all still posting here and not just about the atrocity.

Please don't let a temporary lapse in my overwhelming sadness, grief, anger and shock, let you think that I am callous to events.

I don't see where Melissa said she didn't do it.

I don't understand why anyone gets agitated about a missing post. Everyone still has the option to post what they want themselves.

It is simply part of the uniqueness of internet message boards.

I thought I implied this in my post but I'll say it anyway to just to clear up any confusion-I didn't do it. Melissa

The big deal is that some unknown person is deciding for us what we can and can't talk about. It actually gives us something else to say...I guess

Susan

Melissa, I read that you had not, that is why I asked that other question. I just got slapped?!?

NYgal? Who slapped you?

If you got that from my post, I'm very sorry because I certainly didn't mean it that way. If you got it from posts after that, I don't get the impression that they meant to slap you either.

I just think that we are all a little ticked off at some anonymous person deciding what we should and should not read.

If the person that is pulling the threads would just let us know in advance that it is about to be pulled or at least have the gumption to stand up and say it is them and why they did it, we might feel differently. However, there is just some anonymous person out there who seems to believe that he/she is superior to us in deciding what should be left on the board. And some of it is pretty fricken arbitrary.

And to the other person, (sorry I can't remember who it was) who asked why we would care if someone pulled a post, well, the answer is, maybe we wouldn't care so much if it were just *one* post. The problem is that someone is pulling whole threads of posts.

Funny how all y'all complain about a post being pulled when it's one you like...

My post was pulled, not many people cared...

BillnJeanne(sorry if I messed up the spelling). I don't remember which thread of yours got pulled, but I can assure you I cared. Perhaps I didn't notice that thread if it wasn't one I was following. Regardless, I'm not in favor of threads being pulled without fair warning. No matter what the thread is about.

That said, there is currently a nasty little post made by Elmer Greer or some name like that, that should probably be yanked.

BillandJeanne...I'm sorry if I didn't support you when your post got pulled. I really don't remember, but I had quit reading for a while. If I didn't say it before,I'm saying it now...I care!!!

Peace, Susan

seashell, yes......and I am also sorry I reacted that way. We sometimes forget that these posts are here on the WWW for everyone to see, forever, or as long as this board exists. Someone made the judgement to pull it. It created a new topic and those of us that read this daily will remember what was said. No hurt intended. ( it was only a little slap) just joking.

No, I haven't forgotten that these threads are on the WWW to be seen. If someone wants to delete a thread after it has been dead for a good while, that is a different matter. Deleting a thread that is still current without warning or expressed justification, is just wrong in my opinion.

The fact that there is a Capt. out there that feels the superiority to anonymously determine what we should and should not read, is just wrong.

Besides that, what was the harm in having the WWW see a thread about underage drinking and people's opinions on how that should be handled? Just because there was some controversy, it gets yanked? But it's OK for the WWW to check in and see a bunch of people going on and on about a dog or a blue drink in a toilet bowl (no offense meant to Becky or blue drink drinkers).

I wish there was an answer to the question. I need to stop talking about this. Sorry.

Nygal, that's OK. I understand. Most of my remarks have not been truly directed at you anyway.

I'm talking to the anonymous Captain with the feelings of entitlement and superiority.
