I didn't remove them but there's a few reports against you there for off topic posts.

Love to know by whom. The WO is supposed to be a place where pretty much anything goes. It’s bad form to be reporting stuff in the WO; I hope it isn’t a regular poster there.

Reports to the moderators are supposed to be confidential.  Much though I myself would love to know which ovine retard filled with petty spite decided to try to shut me up with false reports (and I can’t help but think to myself a few guesses), I think I should better leave that knowledge to the forum staff.  They should take notice of who makes reports in bad faith, and be guided accordingly.


OTOH if it was reported as "off-topic" then the moderator should have looked which thread it's in.

I refrained from commenting on this, because I pretty much assumed that an ordinary intelligent moderator handling an “off-topic” report must perforce ascertain what the topic is supposed to be.  Thank you for contributing your explanation.

Looking at the posts quoted earlier in the thread it looks like [WO] is part of the the post title that nullius created.

This may have been a hint—right here, upthread in a thread on which you are commenting:

I like to keep things organized.  Properly labelled.  For the same reason, because WO is special, I retitle my WO posts with a “[WO]” marker.

I assume that you saw that.  Although you claim to have me on ignore, it would show very poor judgment to comment on a thread without reading OP, and OP’s responses.


Would love the deleter to explain his or hers reasoning for killing it off.

^^^ Good question.

To be clear I am not a fan of nullius, but a good post is still a good post.

I will express my due respect for your fairness here, without disclaiming that I am not your fan, either. ;-)


Truly hilariousandco should appreciate your level of "hilariousness", nullius...

Indeed.  If his name checks out, then he should be one of my biggest fansCheesy Cheesy Cheesy

That said, this is a serious thread.  Much though I enjoy interposing a moment of levity, I share your hope for serious answers here.

Thanks for the reply.  Aren’t “off-topic” reports for WO supposed to be marked as bad by the forum moderators?
