Guest sintid58 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I must have really made someone angry for the last post I made here for it to dissapear so fast I never saw what was said. In the end all I wish would happen would be for me to be able to do my job without some expert that has never been in a truck (or hasn't been in one for over 10 years) trying to show me how to do it. I learn something new everyday and the day I quit learning I will have died. I do not own the road and have never said I do. I just would like to rent the space I am using at the moment and be left alone to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob McDonald Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 SID, your posts have been gentlemanly and very informative, for those of who use only the bottom five feet or so of the airspace above the highway. If something nasty was said to you, to cause your thread to be deleted, I missed it too. Which is a good thing for both of us.Sadly for a lot of people, road rage doesn't stop when they step out of their vehicle. Other forums that I consult from time to time are full of nasty confrontations over some of the most lame matters. Whether it's because of good website moderation - my sincere thanks to those who do that work - or because Buick people are just a more evolved species, we don't suffer much of that bitterness here.It's more proof that, When Better Car Enthusiasts Are Built, they'll be driving Buicks.

Guest wildcat465 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I did not see the what was on there before the deletion, but Sid, you have proven to be a good guy in my book (not sure if that is a good book though ). Don't worry keep sharing your wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 So are we talkin about the "Big truckers safe driving pointers" thread. Man that was a good thread and I never got to express my thoughts. Oh well, back to eatin my Spam Pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I missed it, too. But bet I would have been on Sid's side , having been there for 37 years. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It is still much more rare to get stuff pulled here on the BCA side than the AACA General forums. I have had posts deleted over there five times in the last few months...apparently my style doesn't jibe with the moldy oldies. Yeah, I said it!The gist of it is, be polite and courteous towards ALL other motorists no matter what you drive.Back to pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's typically when it gets political, religous and someone get's cantankerous, rude or downright dirty that something gets deleted here. And I can live with that. No room for such hea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I believe I got cantankerous, since I don't get political, religious or rude. Wait a minute, maybe I got rude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Maybe it had something to do with the post having absolutely nothing to do with Buicks. Or could it have been the preaching from a truck drivers perspective not sitting well with others? Or maybe someone gave a 4 wheelers perspective on truck drivers. Bottom line is its not really related to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Since there not that many threads pulled on any of the forums, it would be nice if the one who started the thread was notified by PM as to the reason. Also any posts that are pulled should ge the same notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sintid58 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Well right now I am in the passenger seat riding down Donners pass on Tinas first time down it.

stealthbob Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Well now I know how to keep an off topic alive...To be honest I posted in the Weather thread and I keep getting notices when a reply is made so I have kept up on it. I missed what may have taken the previous thread down but suffice to say there was a polarized debate procreating which was bringing out emotional responses...they can lead to volatility and drama so I guess that is what happened. Me thinks the sans Buick talk had little to do with the pull. All in all I don't mind when posts/threads get pulled....I have moderated boards myself and it is difficult for this very reason. This has got to be the "Lowest Noise" board out there and considering how many people here regularly post that is something to be said. The car hobby has many a contentious issue but that noise is held to a soft humm here and that is due to the staff that holds the delete button. Hell has there ever been a ban here? We will be good...we promise Oh one last thing...Buick Edited April 22, 2011 by stealthbob (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthbob Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Not to belabor the issue...but I don't think it was the OP that was the problem, nor any sans Buick talk.IMHO, Its most more like the responses and then the responses to that ect ect, it was getting "Noisy"As far as my opinion on approaching these situations is to close the thread (only staff can post after that) and NOT to delete it. This way a response/comment can be posted by the Closing Mod as to why it was Closed for all to see. This gives us two things...insight as to what was posted and why it was closed while holding accountability to the closer.This whole "gone like a fart in the wind" approach I think is what gets people bent in the first place.
