Default What happened to grasshopper and ant thread?

I didn't see politics....I saw commentary on socio-economic status and race. As far as I know, posts pertaining to socio-economic status and race aren't taboo on this forum yet....are they now?

I want to know, at least what the last few comments on that thread were about, I saw "THEOLDMAN" comment, but couldn't read his post.

I really didn't think it was offensive.

It sucks that people didn't get a chance to read my reply which I took much time to think out and was quite creatively to stated in the analogy used.

If any of the mods care, can you please cut and paste my reply back to me in a PM. I've seen this story come up on other forums and would like to use my writing (MY words) at those forums.

Hopefully the thread wasn't "deleted", and I doubt that it has been, since when I try to access the saved link, it goes to a page that states that I don't have proper permission to access the link.

BTW, why is it that threads are now getting deleted rather than just simply locked. Didn't C3 have an issue with that once in the past when one of his own, well thought out posts was deleted?

Politics in an off-handed way. Especially with the Vote republican on there. That was why I moved it.

That was my comment.
It wasn't deleted just put in a forum that you don't have access to.

THEOLDMAN,

You don't happen to have access to the thread somewhere (hoping that the thread was put in a "dumpster" type folder)? I'd really like what I wrote PM'd to me. I would seriously like to use my reply with other threads that I've seen in other forums.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

THEOLDMAN,

PM'd you. Can I ask one more favor? If possible, can I get the original story PM'd as well as my reply?

Thank you again.
