I never called anyone stupid. I said that it was a stupid thing to write. Two completely different animals :-)

 

Count yourself lucky to only be edited, I guess.  My post was deleted in its entirety, presumably because I objected to the following:

I assure you, in most cases they don't have a clue what they are doing. They literally rely on you feeling inferior when they waive that law degree in your face.
 

 

I'm all for moderation of forums, and I think people should be able to express their opinions without fear of mean or nasty reprisals/comments, but the deletion of my response is disturbing.  So, it's okay to express very negative views about other people, but it's not okay for those other people to call you out for being rude?

 

For the record, in addition to taking exception to the above quote, my post contained a lot of useful information regarding contracts and indemnification agreements. This information was provided in an effort to assist the OP, who had asked a question on the topic.  I guess I should have opted instead for snarky comments about lawyers, instead of addressing the issue presented.  Maybe then my post would still be around.

Final warning, I am attempting to use my best judgment in keeping an interesting and useful and informational debate going.  Believe me, It would be a much better use of my time if I lock or delete the thread and go on with my day.  If you have an issue with a comment I've edited or deleted send me a private message to discuss.

I took another look at your post (from the email notification) and aside from the first sentence it seemed pretty tame. The only reason I can think of for why it was deleted instead of edited was because you were responding to FromScratchSF, who is a moderator. If that's true it is troubling, since moderators are supposed to be impartial. There's a reason many forums do not allow a moderator to moderate individual threads they have participated in.

Good grief everyone. I don't want to get in trouble for starting this- maybe we can just let this go, huh? Anyway, it's already done and gone and I really do appreciate all the useful feedback.

AI agree, it might be time to lock this thread anyway since it's pretty much run its course. But it does have a lot of good information so I definitely wouldn't delete it.
