Supreme Court Ruling

Well, being a moderator, I can say I didn't remove your post and as a loose consensus, we don't delete any posts due to opinion whether you believe that or not. Physical threats, egregious libel, racial slurs or anything universally abusive and inappropriate, yes, I for one will delete such posts and so will, I believe, the other moderators. I will also notify you and tell you why, assuming you've registered and I have a means to contact you.

Now, understand that I've never seen your particular post, I've no interest in your political leanings, pro or con, so I don't know what you said, if in fact you were deleted or perhaps a PHP hiccup occurred (it happens).
Perhaps if you registered and provided a way for moderators to contact you if there is a problem, this would not occur. If you insist on not registering, I suppose, if you feel a post of your has been deleted, you can email me the gist of it, or the actual text preferably and I will check it out, confer with the other moderators and get back to you with a real answer. You can select "PM" to private message me. Please don't abuse this offer as I will quickly ignore you. However if you sincerely wish to know why a post was deleted or censured and would like to constructively argue why it should not be so, while I'd prefer to remain impartial, I would be willing to advocate your behalf and get you an honest answer. My last point, i can't stress enough that registering takes a lot of this trouble away, but as of now, that is optional.

Turn off the guest option so that you liberal idiots can agree on your ideologies and make plans on meeting @ our favorite hang-outs. I'm no spin doctor, but you'd make me into one to justify your speech censorship

The vote clearly showed that most people are in favor of removing guest posting. No one is restricting your speech. You can keep posting the same asinine things you have been, and even do so anonymously- you just have to log in first.

i find it hilarious you are bashing the liberals on the board, and bringing up the same tiresome conservative v. liberal bullshit in a thread where i would imagine many of the DH board liberals sided with the conservative dissenting opinion.

Sadly, the moderator deleted your post without saving it, but they told me you used the words "dykes" and "chinks". Is this true or not?

[UPDATE: Anonymous reportedly did use "dikes" (sic) as a slur (see edits above), but the term chinks was used by somebody else replying to Anonymous.]

OK. OK. That's the last time I delete insulting and inflammatory material without saving it for future reference. I hope this makes you happy:

From memory, your post basically said something like this: "the city will make the condo people put up new trees, but they will delay it until the last minute. Naturally, all the Prospect Heights tree-huggers, young and old, will bitch and complain constantly until the trees are put back. Hey, you unemployed liberals, don't you realize that you are polluting the world when you turn on your radios to listen to NPR?" I forget the rest, if you care to recreate the rest of your attack below, then feel free.

Guest, if you hate this site so much, why must you continue wasting all of our time with your inane postings?

THIS WEBSITE DOES NOT REPRESENT PROSPECT HTS. THE HTS I'M FAMILIAR WITH DOES NOT INCLUDE HYPOCRITES THAT LIE FOR THEIR SELF-GRATIFICATION.
THIS WEBSITE WAS FORMED TO FEED OFF EACH OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL BULLSHIT AND PRETEND THAT THE OUTSIDE ISSUES DON'T EXIST. NO TO THE STADIUM, YEA TO THE ALTERNATE PLAN; yOU CAN SAY FUCK RATNER, BUT I CAN'T SAY LAZY LIBERALS.
ALL I SAID IN THE PREVIOUS POST WAS THAT TODAY YOU'LL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TREES, TOMORROW IT'S ABOUT THE SIDEWALK THAT THE CONSTRUCTION CREW WILL BLOCK OFF AND THEN YOU'LL BE INCONVENIENCED WHEN USING THE ALTERNATE SIDE.
