In lieu of what is going on, I think it's best I take a break from posting for a bit at this point.
If nothing else, the folk(s) that deem my posting style and content inappropriate will get a break from their moderation roles and can move on to something more productive.
Don't go Lazer.......it's not your fault that we have couple of self appointed censors/moderators on this forum.......just ignore them they will hopefully in time go away.
Stay and keep posting, most of us do have (and need) a laugh or smile every now and then. If we don't laugh every day...we are a bunch of sour pusses indeed.
Cheers

I think I hit 60/40 once.
But as a general rule, I'm happy with 50/50.
@Lazer,
You get your pink-lovin' nasal-pillow-ear-thingy usin' bug-crawlin' self back in to this forum right this instant!
Or not. Take a break if you need to. It's all good. As long as you know this is the place for gettin' and givin' help and all that. I take breaks myself. It's a forum. Not a prison.
@Carolyn,
Thanks for doin' the thankless job yer doin' and doin' it so well.
@The world in general,
I think I once may have clicked on the report-spam button by accident when I was in a hurry trying to hit the quote button to post some of my foolishness. But that was a long time ago. And only once that I remember.

Best for who? Not best for us, the many who are supporting you here on this thread and were delighted to post to your birthday thread and will miss you and your funny pink posts if you stay away. If you're making this decision because it's really best
for you at this time, then take the break you need, but please come back soon. Just don't put yourself in time-out to appease a few disgruntled people.

So who are you gonna listen to, Lazer? All the nice members who are here asking you to stay, or one who....... (well, I won't complete that thought )
I agree with the others - take a break if you need it, but don't go because you think you aren't liked or appreciated. How can we not love a man who likes PINK?
(BTW, I haven't been here long enough to earn a Spam Button so it wasn't me who deleted your posts. Sorry that happened!)

I'm here but will mainly be lurking and keeping it to my own threads for a bit. Thanks again for those who spoke up in my favor. Right now it's just too damn annoying to be having my content judged, demeaned, and censored even if it is just one person so I need to learn to tone it way down and stay on topic. Other things going on in life right now, I have no time for this crap per my OP. Thanks

I don't recall even seeing the pictures you had deleted... I was thinking it was just because you are old now! With your B-Day and all.... like the rest of us...
I would like to know who is spam deleting posts that they just dislike or disagree with! Hmmm, there's another POLL!

I stopped reading at that point in his post.
But now I've read it in yours.
Nasty Uncle Dave needs his abbreviations washed out with soap.

This is one I was advised was too tasteless and suggested to remove:
<Admin Comment: Removed Image of person using restroom>
I had posted it in the "Thanks God for distilled water thread"...
I thought it was funny but apparently others didn't ....
Oh, I think this is one that was deleted by another user (SPAM REMOVED):
It was in response to "Tongue Exercising techniques..." and later reinstated by Carolyn in the given thread.
See what a BAD boy I am...
Call the PoliCe!

Lazer, remember what carolyngoodman said. They monitor those who hits the spam button very closely and they do PM the offender when needed.
I imagine either they have already or will be in contact soon with the offended person and smack him/her up side the head with a 2x4 AND remove the spam button from them. I just now saw the tongue picture and had to laugh. What I suggest is that you return to the "Happy Birthday Lazer" thread and refresh you brain with all the posts that the forum folks posted and once again embrace the love and heart felt positive vibes and words of appreciation that was sent to you. As the saying goes "don't let one bad apple spoil the rest". Many of us ARE good apples

I just saw this post.
Lazer - I went into the posts identified as SPAM and found your most recent that was removed and restored it. I am contacting the person who identified it as SPAM, I am guessing it was a mistake.
I can promise you this was not an act by an admin. If I edit anything on the board it is a rarity and I leave a note explaining what action I took and why. If I receive complaints about another CPAPtalker, I generally contact that person directly.
In general:
1) If any one thinks a post of theirs was removed, please contact me. If it was in the past few days it is easy for me to check and get it back. If it was later it is removed from my admin and I have to have a developer dig and search for it.
2) If you identify something as SPAM that is not SPAM, you generally loose your SPAM button.
