Is it common practicefor moderators to delete posts? Moto related-Yes On topic- Yes- Dumbgeon worthy- I dont think so. If anything I may have touched upon someone's soft underbelly for Dean Wilson. I (at the time) thought that he might be seen as a little fragile when it comes to fall and get-offs. Sorry, to hear if the rumors are true about his injury because this post was not started as a Dean bashing thing, just an observation on my part. I was really hoping for a strong performance from him at Indy and even looked forward to seeing him on a 450 at the Nats. As someone stated about a post on "another" forum, maybe his sexual preference or his need to drink more milk hit a little close to home for someone.....I know that I am just a NOOB and maybe I should think twice about others feelings before I put them into words.....................Yea right This is a forum, full of arm chair doctors and wanna be racers, and I am proud to be one of them. Edit- My original post was "Deano?"

If all this "other forum" does is talk about a rider's sexual activities or drinking milk, then it must really suck.

If anyone has a right to be pissed here it's me. I left a post in your thread that took me like 30 mins to write and I was hoping for a little correspondence. FUCK.

Lesson learned, I guess.

Just kidding. My next post will be longer.

It's fairly common but they do let a lot slide also. Free speech does not exist nor should it be expected to in a moderated forum.

Whoops_ it wasn't all in vain.

Dumb. As said, I doubt toughing it out was an option. fromm Dean's twitter:is Zach bell superman?if that was me I woulda been folded like a pretzel.He wasn't kidding, then...God was Defo watching over me todayWas this the concussion Hank Thrill was referring to? Dated Feb.19? Watching his Daytona performance, I assumed there must be some lingering health issues from his practice crash that made him fade as the night wore on, just like with James Stewart. Ordinarily I think Wilson's endurance is is pretty facking insane (see 11 moto wins two years ago (and seven 2nds) vs. Baggett and Rattray, who by the way are not pussies), so unless this new Egomaniac Dean Wilson everyone is talking about has stopped looking up to Ryan Dungey and no longer has the will to self-train like he used to, I'd say that's what we've been seeing since the week after his opening-r ound win -- side effects.Dean Wilson ain't overrated (see 11 moto wins two years ago, one more than Baggett got last year, plus he's 1.7x the SX rider Baggett is). I can't remember if I've said this before, butRoczen's starts + Tomac's speed + Baggett's endurance + Barcia's consistency = Your 2012 250 MX champ Dean Wilson. Stamp it. Hope he heals for outdoors. Both he and Tomac are maybe starting to look a bit like damaged goods to prospective 450 teams (don't overanalyze that), which is a funny boat to be in together as they were rivals last year and heavy favorites on their respective coasts this year. This fuckin sport, man, I'm tellin' ya...

I was reading the replies from my original post on my phone when I came home from work to find out it was gone ??? Oh well live and learn. I am glad I didn't call RV or Js7 "Fragile" . I'd still be going through the hate responses.

One "admin" is super cool, one is not, but the "mods" are pretty cool.

yes one admin deletes posts like he's putting notches on his belt, and deletes threads without even reading them.

that said this message is prob going away very soon too.

lol thanks Racer. Are you a wizard? ....Not that anyone should try to read it when it's all glopped into one giant paragraph.

Maybe I'll paste it into the other DW thread with corrections, unless someone begs me not to.

I delete posts that I think are embarrassingly dumb all the time. Call it a public service.

The same thing that got my first post deleted. Obviously touched on a "untouchable" subject. Then again GuyB I am still a NOOB at this, it might have been disposed of via "Public Service"

Hey Racer480, first off, welcome to Vital. Cool

Dont take it personal bro, it happens. Things are pretty lax around here, at times some housecleaning is done when/if someone feels its necessary. Dont trip on it man, kick back and enjoy the ride. As the description to this section of the forum states, "Bring your tear-offs and prepare to duck the roost!" Laughing

btw: for a good time show up on race days/nights and join in on the "Bench Racing" threads during practice and for the race. We have a good group of "core fans" that really get into it. Good times! Last night was a blast!

btw2: i have no clue what was said, yesterday was a long day and i slept in, but like i said, dont take it personal.

My very first post was deleted

I was kind of drunk, didn't read the rules and thought everyone on message boards were kooks anyway. What a NOOB!

I believe it was "he sucks" in a JS7 vs. CR22 thread.

I'm not mad, BRO...

I had a whole thread deleted. When you guys were taking about Peick kicking his bike of his stand and there were references to JS pushing Chads bike of the his stand, I bumped that old thread and it was deleted within 10 minutes.

That was probably me. I have a pet peeve about people bumping years old threads.
