Clearly, I am suceeding, as Mr Lafon will do his very best to pull any of my posts which offends him, which is to say he will pull as many as he can, on whatever grounds he can come up with to do so.

I deleted a post that was clearly inappropriate. Were I to delete all posts by you that I find personally offensive I would START with the posts where you make a point of using my name after I specifically asked you not to. If it was another poster's privacy you were abusing I would have deleted your posts in an instant. If you have a complaint, take it to community.

"Obscenity" and "psuedo-science" are as he defines them,

Want me to repost your deleted posts on community and let everyone decide if they were appropriate?

and the man is deeply "committed" to manned Mars flight.

Oh god, this is the paranoia stage of your cycle isn't it? I guess we all know what comes next... MORE obscenity filled posts until you demand that you are banned... then you come back in a couple of months and the whole bizzarre charade starts anew... what fun.

I will say AGAIN that I do not think we are ready for a manned mars mission, that we need to practice closer to home first- an objective observer might assume I am on your side for a moon first approach... but you NEED to feel the whole world is against you at this point of your cycle, dont you....?

The problem for me, however, is that I really do need to watch for obscenities, as the FCC tends to frown on them. Note that Lafon destroyed the post, rather than preserving it in any form.

Nope, gotcha there... Your post in all its "glory" Has been preserved on the moderator board... All the moderators will see it. STILL want to claim that your deleted posts were appropriate? Do you?

It's gotten to the point where sometimes I myself actually save my own posts, so that they can be reposted, but I did not do so in this case.

Well, then- Arent you lucky to have a moderator thoughtful enough to do so? If you feel that you were treated unfairly bring it up on community and I will gladly share with everyone the posts I deleted... I promised to be as open as possible when I became moderator.
