Rob D.Sorry for the delay in responding to your question, Ted, I was away from the computer almost afternoon Saturday. Also, apologies for apparently not being clear enough in my post.
You ask, "In any event Rob, tell me what you are alluding to here, as I don't quite understand it......? ?
Simple:
1. An original post (yours) is made, which includes what you call a factual statement that the Dunn card is not horizontal. This post also includes a mini-bio on Dunn.
2. After the thread becomes almost exclusively a debate on the horizontal-vertical issue, something you've decided should not happen, you go back and delete the horizontal-vertical references in your post.
3. After your original reference to the horizontal-vertical has been deleted, you complain that your thread was "hijacked," and that all you wanted was a discussion on Dunn's life in baseball.
I'm not "alluding" to anything. I'm clearly saying that it's not right to accuse folks of hijacking a thread by discussing a topic (horizontal vs. vertical) that you originally posted then deleted.
You've explained why you edited your post after the discussion went in a direction you didn't want it to. That's your choice. But I don't think it's right to complain about your thread being hijacked when it wasn't.
(Not to mention this all happened in a thread in which you jumped on someone else for editing one of his posts after the fact.)
Hope that's clearer. Thanks.
