    Actually, there is a post from yesterday at 8:09 p.m. by Songbird that was deleted by - Songbird. We see a message when a post is deleted that tells us who deleted it.

    It is the only post on this thread that has been deleted.

    Neato trick- deleting a post and blaming it on a moderator. I've seen the serial deletor Shortbus do this very thing.

    Gosh, forgot about many of these humps who've come back over from SJ Rejects to toss some water balloons and run away. Now I will go back to forgetting them.

    Jesus Christ.

    The narratives that get spun, that become fact in addled, aggrieved minds... The people defending certain other people have no idea the stuff that's gone on off-board, in PMs, the unhinged emails. Threatening to torpedo someone's career? That's something we do now? That's something that's okay? Yes, he needs your support—but to get real psychological help. I say that as someone who's been to therapy and been on meds, so I'm not casting aspersions or making light. He's not well, and he's not getting any better. And stuff like this, claiming deletions from "on high" when that hasn't happened, doesn't help.

    This stuff fucking sucks. Hey @Moderator1, can you delete or at least lock this thread please? Made a mistake starting it. I need to wash my hands of all this stuff and just hope it gets better. Can't have it affecting my real life any more than it already does.

    I don't think I deleted my post. I'll buy if there was a technical glitch but I wouldn't be deleting that post.

    TF, nobody is threatening to torpedo your career or even alluding to such actions.

    "This discussion did not turn out to be as universally sycophantic as I had hoped, therefore I would like to pretend it didn't exist."

    A person who needs help would be a person who blows out intimate family relationships because it makes for a good byline.

    I didn't cut and paste. It was a full-throated defense of YF.
