Hi. I'm trying to think of another description to put here. Any ideas? I'll try again at 420.

Have you ever had one of those days...

...you're minding your own business, posting a silly rant on Craigslist and within an hour, some asshole has flagged you for removal? I get that a lot. Craisglist takes the easy coward route...if there are enough nazi's disagreeing with any one post they send an automated "removal" notice that never tells you specifically just what egregious Craigslist rule you've violated...it's more of a "Enough assholes don't like you so we don't like you either. We're taking our balls and going home...and you're grounded from posting that again."

I have to know...just who the hell are these nazi's? Who is that votes on whether or not my ideas have crossed some silly line? Why is it that they care at all what I have to say? What is it that those freaks are afraid of? I want to know. And I have another question, how many nazi's does it take before a post is flagged? If enough people flag ALL the posts, will the damn thing be empty?

The firemen over at Craigslist are making Bradbury proud.

hi meg, i get my post deleted every once in a while... 1 time i had 3 or 4 silly posts on within about 2 days, they all got deleted for some mysterious reason?????. anyway, unless your post is a dog or cat pic post that is spamming the board. just keep reposting. that works for me. that being said, there really are alot of JERKS on CL!!! good luck
