I don't think this is political it is more honor related IMHO but their threads should probably either be modified or deleted, but I have one question how would you go about proving one misrepresented oneself?
So THIS is your final final thoughts? You should have stopped with your last post "final thoughts", this post makes you look little and vindinctive, and I'm sure you are neither considering some of the great nature postings you have made in the past. Squamata, PLEASE look into getting this post deleted by the Mods, it doesn't suit you.
PM's = PRIVATE messages... they should be kept that way unless someones life is threatened..
Then, do as you will.
Gosh, I had just typed a long post for that last thread and when I went to send it, CLOSED!

well apparently the thread has been pulled too protect the guilty,which i new would happen hence the title here. so mods do your duty and pull mine too
ya know doc this reminds me of a guy awhile back,he was the bartender at a veterans of foriegn wars post i belong too everyone loved him called him gunny,gave him stuff took care of him,but some of the things he said started too not make sense too my grand father so he ran a check and low and behold the guy not only was never in the corps he was never in any branch of service and had a criminal record.
I hate to beat a dead horse, really I do. But closing a thread is not the same thing as pulling a thread, a closed thread can still be read by people, and you can always start a new one, a pulled thread can't be read by anyone except for maybe the mods.
As was said PMs are private unless somebody is breaking a forum rule. This is the internet, never forget rule number one about the internet, never believe everything you read or anything anybody says about themselves. People lie, exaggerate, or simply misrepresent themselves for any number of reasons.
The posts in question is currently in a safe place until all the Mods and Josh can formally decide what to do with it. I personally am betting it will stay gone for many reasons more then just the attacks on another forum member and then the follow up attacks in response.
People, I know we all are very emotional about our tortoises, but please please stop and think before you post things you may latter regret. Today several good, if perhaps very emotional members got themselves in a bit of hot water, does not matter who or even why, what matters is it hurts them, it hurts you, it hurts the forum, and worse perhaps is it may hurt tortoises because it turns folks off of this site.

As I see it, most of the post are formulated by opinions and personal interpretation, therefor hard to prove. Sometimes the suttle things say alot.dmmj said:
Why not remove the post that a mod does not like rather than closing an entire thread. Sometimes things can continue resulting with a good outcome if allowed to go forward.dmmj said:
How many warnings were given, I will guess "two".

No, mostly it was pulled for us to talk about how we should handle it. It is not always a simple black and white world. Enough folks got to see it before it was pulled and now with you doing this thread, others too will read and wonder. Then they will be PMing you for information on what they missed. Whether or not the party is guilty of any of the things claimed, will become a bit of a moot point. In the end, the damage is already done just by the simple accusations that were made.
People lie on the net? So you mean there are not local beautiful women waiting to meet me? also I did not win the canadian/spanish/newzeland lottery? now I am bummed.Jacqui said:

That is why the thread is not deleted at this point. It is sitting in a safe place til cool heads can look at the thread closely and decide what to do with it. I do agree that usually you can just "clean" a post or two and continue the thread, but in this case I, myself, need to really look at the reason the thread was even started and if it has any real benefit to the forum as it is.
That would be participating in gossip. Sorry.

I don't think the "truth" would ever be totally clear, but I do think it will just become a fight without end, with the forum losing more then anything else. Believe it or not, we do try to keep wars from starting here, from accusations being tossed around, reputations being hurt unfairly. As I stated before however, it is not entirely up to me, it will go before the entire Mod group and Josh.
