:Yes, my reply was meant to be a little sarcastic in hope of provoking thought, whether you agreed with me or not.When I do that, my posts end up being deleted. Time after time after time.
I disagree with your inference above that my little sarcasm toward whereisthetruth�s expression is generally equal with your approach.
First off, I have had a few posts deleted in the past, though not approaching your likely record number of deleted posts. IMO, some of my post have quite likely crossed the line of some individual�s sense of appropriateness. When that type post has been deleted and I thought the post was otherwise worthwhile I simply reworded and reposted. Otherwise I just forgot about it. Isn�t that what adults are supposed to do? :-)
Regarding the issue at hand of my little sarcasm, did you read my initial posts in context? (If not here they are 1st and 2nd) If so, I can hardly believe that you�d assert that my level of sarcasm even approaches what some of your deleted posts have done in the past, and perhaps some of mine too. I think you�ve compared apples with oranges, or better yet, paper planes with Apollo rocket ships. :-) Also it should be noted that I apologized for unintended offense and immediately restated my position in other words.
