Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?

It is usually the case that members engage in spirited, often passionate, discussions in threads. That’s normal. Regrettably, often those discussions veer off the tracks, where members are offended or genuinely have their feelings hurt by the content of others’ post(s). 

Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? Your thoughts?

@oregonpapa : Almost every post I have had removed on Audiogon was meant to be and obviously was meant in good natured humor.

I know that is tough for a moderator, especially if they don’t have the time to know various members or research the context of a post they are considering deleting. But then you run into the issue of deleting posts that shouldn’t be while any number of mean spirited posts go untouched.

I actually got a kick out of one of mine that was deleted. It was a Monty Python quote in reply to another Monty Python quote: "Yes, well, that’s the kind of blinkered Philistine pig ignorance I’ve come to expect from you non-creative garbage."

I think it is funny because who, other than John Cleese, would say something like that these days?

Are you not allowed to copy and paste somebody else’s post? I copied another post to update it on a new page and my post got deleted but the original post remained...

I truly think the Americans found Monty Python way funnier than us darn Brits ever did.
