The thread was reported. I don't recall now why I removed the messages. If I removed yours, it was probably because it quoted one of those I found objectionable.

I didn't check the origin of the objectionable messages. But, there was one poster who posted multiple times and I remove most, if not all, of that poster's messages.

(splelling her name wrong in the hopes that i will be one less thing she googles about herself)

but i swore the thread was longer last night, filled with pretty horrible stuff...

it was terrible and i posted opposing it, then noticed a lot of those posts were deleted; mine included (which was not anti-the family in any way),

just wondering how you found it, jeff - did someone report it?

and was it one crazy troll posting over and over again from some remote location far far far from dc?
