How can I put this?
It seemed that the thread had not degenerated but was infact initiated to see how far the boundaries could be pushed and the same poster continued throughout to see what he / she could get off with.

This is ridiculous, how on earth can you know this, are you psychic? Why have you made this up, have you any proof? this is obviously a figment of your own imagination. If the joke thread was still around, people could make their own minds up about it, but as it's been totally removed I cannot defend it, a very brave statement Boddie, and one for which the folk who have already read the thread will be, like me, bemused at your delusions.
In actual fact if you had bothered to read my first post in the original thread you would have seen that the joke thread was a follow on from another thread started by someone else.

Apparently there was alot of phonetic swearing and OOOOO'ing out of words, when it was quite obvious what they were substituting.
|
Please define "alot", what words, how many exactly.
Of course it was "obvious" what word it was substituting, no one would have got the joke otherwise, it was a Joke you see, something to make a person laugh.
Oh and the one word you are pertaining to which began with a letter then had several *** in it and ended with another letter was not a swear word, it is classed in the dictionary as slang, look it up.

WAB is now being used extensively as a tool in schools so it was felt that some of the material was inappropriate.
|
Again please define so that we all know what material is inapropriate.
Bear in mind I can only defend my own posts, although I cannot remember anyone elses posts being offensive.
I have copies off my own jokes.

Could have been tackled by PM, and not made so public, but it seems that method is frowned upon as a way to try to save people embarrassment, have a debate or diffuse a situation. So effectively rather than do that the thread gets deleted and the good posts go too.

Don't worry, I don't get embarrased easily and surely it involves the other people who posted on the thread as well, don't they want to know what happened?, don't they want to know what will offend certain people on the site?
As for posting the "Big brothers watching thing", I honestly meant it to be a hint to posters to keep things clean, (ironic isn't it) but this also is construed as something sinister.
I thank you Stuart for replying.
I also thank you Boddie for deputising as a moderator and complaining so soon after coming back from your holiday and after the thread had been running along smoothly for a whole week without problems.
Anyone is welcome to debate me, but please stick to facts and don't make things up.
