why was it deleted?

like I said before, Bill had some good points.
he gave an example as to why us Cherry pickers might want to re think it.
he said we would be displeased if a store had done that to us, and i think thats pretty accurate.
he also said it had similarities to insider trading, which in a sense, would make cherry pickers "out side traders". which makes us more culpable for the act.
I say us because i have been known to Pick, having 50/50 results with the process, with NO scales and booster mashing.
another thing, there was no arguing on the previous thread, so we should keep it the same for imps thread as well.

It's still no reason to have deleted it.

Think of the topic as a conversation you started at a social event. The conversation has now moved to a different topic that does not hold your interest. Generally the appropriate responses would be to just listen for a while until the conversation goes back to something you want to talk about or to excuse yourself from the conversation and go mingle elsewhere. Abruptly deleting the topic is akin to flipping the table over and yelling "This conversation's over!" before walking away.

I don't vanna go to zee eastern front. Es ist sehr kalt!

Hi little people in daves head.......

Look I'am sorry to upset you, but I'm the kinda person that has an opprotunity to prevent an end to an argument I will

Which is exactly why I would never equate it to stealing.

Uggie Demo is not a moderator (as far as I am aware). He was the thread starter. My personal opinion is that if you start a public thread, and anyone responds, then you don't really own it anymore, and if someone is going to take action on posts made by anyone else, it should be done by a mod. Whatever.

I expressed some mild discontent (in a rather tongue-in-cheek manner I might add) that I missed some supposed arguing/fighting that was going on. Again, whatever. We're trying to have a conversation about "cherry-picking" boosters, and whether it is a morally questionable act. Many have posted that it is totally unreliable. I concur with that assessment based on my own experience, with a couple obvious exceptions which I believe I noted in my last post on the now deleted thread.

When I last saw the original thread, there was no fighting going on. I'm curious as to what happened. Apparently, no moderators stepped in but Uggie Demo decided to end it. I was not aware that was an option. I can't clean up the events thread I post up for our LGS each month, so I start a new one each month so it doesn't stretch on for many pages of mundane banter and small questions.

I would appreciate if a mod can explain to me how a topic starter goes about deleting an entire thread. I've checked in several forums where I've started threads and I can't delete other users' posts.

Besides, I'm the only one that can end this thread (but I won't)
