I asked a simple question with some details on this site and getting way off topic and arguing. I have aspergers but gaw-lee are we bull headed! No one can take a hint or follow my point. So I just want to delete it.

no, because you can't delete other people's posts with it

Sigh. Great. Okay thank you for clearing that up. I will just have to avoid my own post then.

You can ask a mod to delete it for you, though!

If the post is less than 7 days old, why not go back and remove your OP by editing it?

Well, it isn't less than 7 days old. And I don't know what OP is...hehe....(I got a feeling that I should?) But I did edit my post.

^ Two contexts:
"Your OP" = your Original Post: either the first in a thread you started (then maybe "Opening Post"), or some specific post.
"The OP" = the Original Poster: someone who started a thread, or the person creating some specific post.

Would you like to PM me about the post you're having issues with?

^It's the "where can I find honest lesbians" thread in the LGBT forum.



I don't think people weren't able to follow the thread, I think some of us(myself included) took issue with what was being said about atheists, and your increasingly rude/dismissive responses. Threads sometimes turn into debates, I don't think it was anything personal against you.

I'm sorry if any of my posts upset you.

Thanks meems, I found it - and since the OP had deleted her opening post, making the thread meaningless, I've also removed it.

ibtiamat, you were rather rude on that thread. :?

If you're going to get upset about people being argumentative, any site full of people with AS will make you homicidal within a week. :lol:
