And if this was really meant to be “only a joke†why did somebody erase the whole of my two-line comment about it?
am i misunderstanding something? did someone delte one of walkies posts?
i can laugh about the word filters but not the censorship. is the post that she refers to in the recycle bin?
Yes, McJ, somebody deleted - not a whole post of mine- but a section of it. And they coverered their tracks, by also deleteing that bit at the bottom that keeps track of modifications. I'd edited the posta few times myself (mostly in an effort to sucessfully post that word, then to add that comment, which later disappeared) but it now appears to be unmodified by anyone. I find this disturbing. This is precisely what convinced me that the scrapheap thing was more than just a joke.

we have fail safes in place so this doesn't happen. people are allowed to delete their own posts, and so can a few other people. but if was deleted then it will be automatically placed in the resycle bin, which is in the admin forum. i suppose if it was an admin, then they could re-delete it from there, but there will be a moderation log.
someone can get to the bottom of this, i am sure. to me, that would be a grave violation of someones rights if they were censored, here.

I’m very glad to hear it McJ. I’m also glad that I thought of that alternative explanation :that my browser loaded a redundant internet file, dating from before my own editing attempts. The more I think about it the more likely that seems, as I’ve noticed old web pages getting resurrected before, if I lose my connection, Just never quite that old, before.
So, ho hum, I’ve; showed myself up for a prat, huh? <sheepish grin>. But that’s better than causing a panic over nowt. And infinitely better than the thought that posts are getting surreptiously censored. I’m happy to consider that issue settled , since nobody else picked up on it (nor anything like it, to judge by replies so far)
I’ll probably modify my original post, later, if I can think of a good way of doing it ( I mean, to avoid misleading the reader , but without invalidating any subsequent responses,. Which would adding to the post, rather than subtracting, I suppose ). Right now I think I should just finish another reply I had in the pipeline, then skedaddle (things to do).

Ps. Yes, I did follow your subsequent post. Thanks
PPS. You guys all post much to fast for me.
Il be here all day, if I try to reply to everything. I meant to quit long ago. But I do feel itt's important to clear this up ASAP
