Where did my post go?

[Anonymous]

I didn't want people's responses to be tainted by their opinion on my position re the children in question... why did my post get deleted?

It was a serious questions and we've been working so hard to address those issues... You know my IP address and you can easily see who I am. Was there anything offensive that I wrote?

Honestly curious here...

Tacking onto this re: "the MB is furious" thread on the nanny forum--I understand why you deleted those three rambling wacko posts towards the end of the thread, but you threw the baby out with the bathwater when you deleted my reply to the OP that was posted right before all that nonsense...

You haven't deleted anything else that I've posted today (that I can tell), so I guess I'm ok?

Sorry, your post was an accident. I'm trying to do about three things at once. There was a huge spam attack on the site tonight that I was cleaning up at the same time and I was in the middle of a new blog article (going up tomorrow). I was just clicking "delete" and got carried away.

Your thread got reported to me for trolling. I only read the first post and in light of the recent children/sex threads, I assumed it was indeed trolling. As mentioned in the above post, I'm a bit preoccupied tonight. So, I apologize if I was wrong to shoot first and ask questions later in this case.

I completely understand.

I'll give it some time and post again.

Thanks and good luck.

Yes, I can turn captcha on in less than five minutes if I choose. So far, I can handle the spammers. Tonight's was one of the worst cases ever. But, given what is possible, it was fairly minor (about 20 posts).
