Why was my post deleted?

August 20, 2006 5:39 PM

I stand (humbly) deleted. Of course, first I went to FAQs. Closest conceivable reason for deletion was - "axegrindfilter - you posted on a hot-button topic that you frequently post about and/or used heavy-handed editorializing language." Still, I don't think my post fit this bill, exactly: no "frequently post about" or "heavy-handed editorializing" to be found, far as I can tell. Was it simply linking to a site about atheism, period? Or to a site containing Jesus' quotations? I'm really curious about this. And hats off to LarryC for being right. I mean that. BTW, I'd link to the post in question, but it seems to have disappeared without a trace. Or maybe I just don't know how to find it?

This post was deleted for the following reason: meh, individually, these links aren't that interesting, and together, about the same.

So, you're an attention whore?

Hehe. That's right. We're really anti-atheist here. All God-fearing and such. Jehovah et al.

The three links weren't very interesting, and even added up, weren't much better. I don't know what more I can do to explain it. I'll close this now.
