    Sure, but the rule probably exists for a reason, I mean, Chris isn't a politician is he? :) [edit]to clarify: that means his rules probably make sense

    Well, my reply to the donation thread was not about politics, however politics as you so like to call it is part of everyday life. The problem with people is that they consolidate, compartmentalize, and block out what they do not want to face up to.

      Interesting, it wasn't even me who downvoted you But, seriously, this last message, I really don't understand what you're trying to say here. Also, no offense, but I have a feeling that I might not want to know.

        So many threads of half-missing conversations. It's like listening to one end of a phone conversation, and all you can hear is "hmmm... aha.... oh yeah, I totally agree.... hahaha... Oh no she didn't!!..." Just because you don't want to read something someone said, doesn't mean you should vote for it to be removed so no one else can read it. Please, let me make up my own mind as to whether I should be able to see all the comments or not. Vote it down if you must, but removing half my reading material just because you don't like someones opinon or whatever is just plain annoying. There, I said it. 'Message Automatically Removed' sucks today (and every day actually).

        In short, CSS is an deranged raving idiot who can't quite get voted off the island before some well meaning idiots make the mistake of trying to argue with him.

        The latest nation. Procrastination.

          If people are truly that sensitive then perhaps they should seek psychological help.

                    Hi Miszou, How about we make a bargain here : if you don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do, or how I should, or should not vote, I won't tell you what you should or should not think :) Just because one or more persons vote to remove a message does not mean that message is automtically removed ! I trust Chris and CP staff to do "the right thing" to keep the Lounge and CP a place that "nurtures community," and is "kid sister safe." I am sure the decisions they make about what to remove are deliberate, and well thought out.

                        You state:

                        • If people are deranged, they should seek psychological help.
                        • You refuse to seek psychological help, because it will make you sexually impotent and chemically lobotomized.
                        • Wanting to see harm done to others indicates a dangerous mental illness.
                        • Those with a dangerous mental illness should seek help (presumably psychological) immediately.

                        Conclusion:

                        • You think others that are too sensitive should seek psychological help.
                        • Psychologial help is harmful.
                        • You wish that what is harmful (psychological help) to be applied to others (those who are too sensitive).
                        • Since you want to see harm (psychological help) applied to others (the too sensitive), you have a dangerous mental illnesss and should seek (psychological) help immediately.

                                  Hi Miszou, How about we make a bargain here : if you don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do, or how I should, or should not vote, I won't tell you what you should or should not think :) Just because one or more persons vote to remove a message does not mean that message is automtically removed ! I trust Chris and CP staff to do "the right thing" to keep the Lounge and CP a place that "nurtures community," and is "kid sister safe." I am sure the decisions they make about what to remove are deliberate, and well thought out.

                                  Is there something stopping you right now from "making up your own mind" whether you read comments on a removed post, or any other posts ? Learn to stop reading things when they confuse you, unless you suspect/believe they contain content worth learning something from, and, imho, you will be more at peace. Of course : "being more at peace" could then deprive addicts of "SuckPosts" of their "daily bread" : the moral issue in that ... well, each of us must come to grips with that using hazardous-material evaluation and handling techniques of our own choosing. Also, think of this : allowing banned messages to persist in some form would then diminish the "spectrum of suckness,' impoverish the lives of those who live to write code like :

                                  // I am pretty new to Linq : please feel free to "fix" (neuter, or spay) this code to taste

                                  new List<SpectrumOfSuckness.Posts.SuckPostTopicType>();

                                  Actually I think it takes 13 people to press the 'vote to remove message' button, after that the post get removed without intervention of Chris or the staff.

                                    So many threads of half-missing conversations. It's like listening to one end of a phone conversation, and all you can hear is "hmmm... aha.... oh yeah, I totally agree.... hahaha... Oh no she didn't!!..." Just because you don't want to read something someone said, doesn't mean you should vote for it to be removed so no one else can read it. Please, let me make up my own mind as to whether I should be able to see all the comments or not. Vote it down if you must, but removing half my reading material just because you don't like someones opinon or whatever is just plain annoying. There, I said it. 'Message Automatically Removed' sucks today (and every day actually).

                                    I understand where you're coming from, but the messages that get deleted are usually in extremely poor taste or racist and violate the KSS rule in some way or the other. People complained that removing the message caused lack of continuity, so Chris left the message with the placeholder, now people don't like this either. Sometimes I really pity Maunder.

                                      You state:

                                      • If people are deranged, they should seek psychological help.
                                      • You refuse to seek psychological help, because it will make you sexually impotent and chemically lobotomized.
                                      • Wanting to see harm done to others indicates a dangerous mental illness.
                                      • Those with a dangerous mental illness should seek help (presumably psychological) immediately.

                                      Conclusion:

                                      • You think others that are too sensitive should seek psychological help.
                                      • Psychologial help is harmful.
                                      • You wish that what is harmful (psychological help) to be applied to others (those who are too sensitive).
                                      • Since you want to see harm (psychological help) applied to others (the too sensitive), you have a dangerous mental illnesss and should seek (psychological) help immediately.

                                      Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

                                        Not always. Often the mob simply votes down a post because of it's author.

                                          CodeProject could offer "Troll Pro" subscriptions where you can still see the messages removed. Cha-ching!

                                          Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]
