DID I IMAGINE IT ?

Was there a thread on here yesterday morning about gadgets to sharpen drill bits and which might be the best ? Has it been removed OR have I lost the plot ? Noel.

Yep, certainly was one. Its irritating when one takes the trouble to carefully craft a reply in the hopes that it may be of general use to folk with similar issues and the thing disappears.

Especially so when you realise that you should have saved your bit for future use.

And there it was … Gone

.

Right enough, I read and posted in it

Don't recall any product being plugged which would threaten advertisers and any spam post could be edited out

The mods may be able to clarify

It was a rather odd post. The phraseology was not English, more US. The OP ignored the replies and just asked for recommendations. I suspect something suspicious caused the mods to delete it.

Someone must have found the content 'challenging'.

The topic 'Who is telling the truth' has also been locked - it's laughable.

Martin.

The new member subsequently decided to post links promoting a drill sharpener.

I hand my suspicions when I first approved their first post as that type of post is quite common though you probably don't get to see them as they get deleted PDQ but decided to let it go.

Another member Reported his second post before I could read through the latest posts and I acted accordingly.

Yes Blowlamp your sexist remarks were the final straw in that "truth" thread and got it locked, again your comments were reported by other members so not just the view of the Moderators.

Hi Jason, I had a PM from Hugh at Amaseal a few days ago sugesting I might like to visit their east London showroom to view mini lathes, and warning about another supplier, Is this normal ? Noel.

It's a bit more forward than I would like our suppliers/advertisers to be.

What "sexist remarks" were they Jason -

Rest deleted

Take it up with Neil if you have a problem with moderation.

Pathetic response, Jason.

You didn't even edit my post under your own name.

… is JasonB not his own name then ??

MichaelG.

How long has JasonB been posting as blowlamp?

He simply butchered my comment to leave it unintelligible

Martin.

You too apparently found certain content in that thread challenging. I was looking forward to a good answer from you to Hopper's very pertinent question starting "Who is doing this incredible feat of co-ordination...?", but you ignored it.

A shame.

This is not an invitation to answer it now.

He hasn’t … but his edit is ‘signed’ and it probably took me less than three seconds to work out which lines were his.

Obviously I don’t know what you wrote, and Jason deleted … but presumably that was the point of the exercise.

Anonymously of course... no public (in the thread) complaint.

There should be an smiley for nutless.

I predict a riot…..or at least another lockdown

Paul.

As the original question has been answered I'm going to lock this one too before it is used as a continuation of the "truth thread"
