What was so offensive about my tongue-in-cheek reply to this thread

http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthread.php?t=19376

In which I referred to a specialist in Brooklyn called "Yews Guys?"

Apparently the moderators are very vigilant to guard against anyone having FUN within a serious thread.

If so, I'd like to see the portion of the Terms of Use which forbids this.

Since I committed such an egregious breach of forum policy, I am curious as to why no notice was given of the deletion in order that I might take an extra "conformity" pill to treat my condition.

What a faux pas you made, a thoughtless act which has far reaching consequences that you have quite rightly earned.

I take it you have heard of Jimmy Cagney the famous actor who starred in many gangster movies. One of his most memorable lines in film was. I quote: "Yews guys won't take me alive" By todays standards this is simply not allowed anymore, not politically correct. So you now see the dilemma you placed on the forum. Had you used the correct terminology " Taxus people" it may have been overlooked. Ah! maybe not the I.R.S might have taken a closer look at you.
Anyway you must have upset someone but as i didn't see your post i shall jump right back into my mushroom box.

Ash

Hey Kazoo, your remarks are intact. There are two posts by the same person about the yews, you must have looked at the second one.

Ease up on the righteous indignation, bub. And if you do have a post erased, it's because bonsaiTALK and its administration have the absolute right to do so, which in theis case didn't happen.

The PM button is always there if you believe you have a real problem in the future. You can always click on your own name to see the posts you've made.

The next time you publicly air an imagined grievance, you'll be banned. We simply don't have time and energy for this. If I do get the time, I'll add that to the terms of service.

Regards,

Matt
