Deleted Threads by Admin??


I’ve read a lot of threads where folks complain about the Administrators removing entire threads. While I have no reason to disbelieve the Admins might in fact remove threads, I discovered by accident that the OP’s can also delete their thread(s). (I did so last weekend when I discovered my premise of the thread was false.) When I clicked on my self-deleted thread, the “error” prompt I received was that the Admin removed the thread. So there appears a couple paths whereby a thread can be removed from the forum.

^^^ Bending human nature for the purpose of attaining a political goal, or for transforming society in search of Utopia has never made sense to me. Individual liberty, free markets and free minds does make sense to me.

Believe me, I’ve been called a "radical" right winger so many times it isn’t funny. My response is always the same ... If Thomas Jefferson was a "radical," count me in his camp. :-)

I admit that I thought that celander’s post in question was his original and would continue thinking so had it not been for others who objected. I am not sure if that would be considered plagiarism, when an uninformed person is not given clear explanation, but I understand that many people quote others with no ill intentions. For whatever reason, I feel that was the case here. Not exactly pretending those are his own words, but instead probably thinking everybody would have recognized them. Those of us who did not know any better were slightly mislead, but no harm was done. Now we learned something. Even two new names.

As for the text itself, nicely written, but must be from some old time. Parts of it are barely relevant these days although hard to dispute outside of the reasonably-willing group.
When I read the post it sounded familiar which prompted me to look it up it's  not from that long ago. Moorehead was a pastor at one of those mega churches until he was forced out for the usual reasons which those who care can look up.
