Threat levels
-
I found this quite funny, sorry if you've seen it before The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats in Islamabad and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Brits have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability. It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose". Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels . The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case. And at a local level... New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". Due to continuing defence cutbacks (the airforce being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "Shut, I hope Austrulia will come end riscue us". In the event of invasion, New Zealanders will be asked to gather together in a strategic defensive position called "Bondi". Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain, "Crikey!', "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancel

I got an email to say there had been a response to this post but it's gone. Did the poster delete it or was it moderated?
My apologies, I was working on Soapbox 1.0 (which means I have to sign in as that entity) and I read your hilarious post. When I realised I was wearing a mask, I deleted with every intention of repeating what was little more than a simple "ROFL" but got distracted. Anyway: ROFL!

OK - I mainly could see that he was not deleting your posts, so I'd have been surprised if you posted and he deleted it. And I knew I had not.

Has he made one post to or about me that wasn't in flagrant violation of the terms of service?

Then I would assume it was CSS or Ilion, and that they deleted it themselves.

You're such an ass.
Now that Chris has outed you[^] for deleting other people's posts, why should anyone believe you didn't delete your own? I know you'd like folks to think it was one of the moderators, but we've ignored too many personal attacks, including the one I am responding to, for that to be credible. So much for doing "Christ's Work."
