[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to know why the posts about birth control in the unexpected #3 post (expectant moms) were deleted. Not meant rudely and I've seen infinitely worse on DCUM..[/quote]

Off topic. The OP is seeking support, not submitting herself to interegation. [/quote]

Huh. That's a rule very selectively enforced.[/quote]

If you want to see it enforced more, report more posts.[/quote]

I actually don't think it should be enforced. Discussions happen. Pretty much every thread goes somewhat off topic at some point... Like most conversations.[/quote]

For a post specifically seeking support, I think it's pretty crappy to throw a question in there that will completely hijack the thread.[/quote]

I was one of the people who reported that thread.  You can blame me, not Jeff!  The tone of the posts were getting ugly, and the last few had started the same tired debate of abortion.  OP had said she didn't want one, and I am following the thread closely since I am in a similar situation.  I find it annoying that some posters use every single thread that has some doubt about babies to say: "abort", and then others come running to tell them how awful they are.  So.  I reported it.  If you want specific questions answered, start a new thread, don't hijack that one.  Not everyone loves wading through ugly snarky posts, especially, I would assume, the OPs of such threads.

And Jeff has made it clear many times over that he will be happy to enforce the on-topic "rule" if posts get reported.  If you start a thread about bc and pregnancy (although there was JUST a huge thread about this), he'd let those posts stand.

Off my soapbox now![/quote]
