| Dec 1, 2015 at 1:28 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Oh, you shouldn't have. That was very kind of you to post that question. I must have searched "sailed on ship" and "went by ship" and " travelled on/by ship" before asking your advice. Actually, the question you have posted is very neat, you can delete the request for "by ship" and substitute it with "travel on ship" (it's still connected with on foot, on horseback) if you like, but keep the question title. It's 2.28 am here, I'm knackered. Night. | |
| Nov 30, 2015 at 10:07 | comment | added | Ricky | @Mari-LouA: Force of habit, I suppose; once an entertainer, always a clown. But the points we've been making between us are all valid a thousand times over. | |
| Nov 30, 2015 at 10:04 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | You're being more melodramatic than I am! Nevertheless, it's unsettling. The infamous deleted answer of mine is visible to me because I have 10+k, but deleted comments are not. And if I delete my comment, I want it to be deleted for all sorts of reasons. | |
| Nov 30, 2015 at 10:04 | comment | added | Ricky | @Mari-LouA: That's weird, because the previous one states that, once deleted, comments disappear forever and ever, amen, no one can access them. So, the powers-that-be aren't above plain old lying, either. | |
| Nov 30, 2015 at 10:02 | comment | added | Ricky | @Mari-LouA: Thank you. I read the answer harangue, and the other harangue linked to the answer harangue. It seems that the powers-that-be here are very strongly opposed to the idea that folks can communicate among one another freely, forming cyber-relationships, etc. They keep reminding us peons that all and any communication, discussion, discourse here is at their discretion. Looks like maoists is the wrong word: there's a bit of everybody of that ilk in there: Nero, Henry VIII, Louis XI, Stalin, Mussolini, etc. | |
| Nov 30, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Here is a link to a meta post about uncalled for or inexplicable deleted comments. Disappearing comment trails; here is an older post, but in this case the deleted comment was reinstated. But anonymous deletion is, apparently, acceptable and the done thing. meta.english.stackexchange.com/questions/5019/…. Which makes me suspect that every deleted comment is archived. Nothing really disappears... | |
| Oct 31, 2015 at 0:45 | comment | added | michael_timofeev | @Mari-LouA I don't see either how a woman mindlessly playing on Facebook should be called a slut or bimbo. | |
| Oct 30, 2015 at 0:11 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | BTW I interpret the OP's "mindless social fun" as being rather shallow, frivolous pastimes, such as playing online puzzle games, watching youtube videos, posting updates on their social media profile, generally light-weight genre. Nothing about having loose sexual relations, being fairly stupid, or acting like a cheap sex object. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 23:51 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | (cont'd) The OP himself said: "Slut, bimbo: both are highly offensive. All these seem like a personal attack rather than focusing on their lapse in thinking" You were just pushing the boundaries, seeing how far you could go. It was a cheap nasty insult, aimed at women, and I don't see why I, or any woman or man should ignore that, or not feel offended. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 23:51 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | I voted to delete the post, without knowing it carried a penalty. I might have asked you to reconsider but three users before me had done that, and you retaliated and defended your answer. But please explain to me why a woman who enjoys "mindless social fun", as described by the OP, with no overtones of sexual activity in the slightest, is in your words a: slut, airhead, bimbo? Whereas a man is a: hellrake, fop, rogue; terms relatively inoffensive, but in actual fact, sometimes wore as a badge of honour. | |

| Oct 29, 2015 at 7:32 | comment | added | Ricky | Do those things come to them in their sleep? Just curious. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 7:20 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Well before jumping to conclusions, wait and see what the mods say. They can see things that we mortals cannot. | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 7:15 | comment | added | Ricky | Oh. Got it! Thanks. No, I'm still in the dark about the loss of points, but at least I'm reassured (sort of) that there's going to be no further drop. At least not today. Am I wrong? I don't know who or what those Sockpuppets are, or why they would do what they're rumored to be doing. Whatever it is, they should be ashamed of themselves. Thanks again! | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 6:53 | comment | added | Ricky | I'm flattered. Also, I'm totally confused now. What meta posts? | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 6:49 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | and Did some of my answers recently get deleted? | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 6:45 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Anyway have a look at these meta questions and see if they apply to you What does ‘User removed’ mean? And why did I get a significant chop-down of reputation? and My reputation has dropped 400 points all of a sudden. Can anyone tell me why? | |
| Oct 29, 2015 at 6:45 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Looking at your profile page I don't see the missing 100 points, which is weird because I do remember your rep was around the 800 mark. I can't say if it was closer to 850 or 900 though. The two meta posts might help explain, I suspect the reason for the loss of rep points is to be found in the second post. | |
