The High Road is "Not a Humor Site"

There is a thread "The life of a 442". A guy asking questions about a Smith 442.

I typed in, "I thought this was a thread about Oldsmobiles."

I received a notice that my post was deleted because, "This is not a humor site".

I have been on a lot of forums and posted a lot of nonsense, as many of you can attest.

This is the first time I have been censored for making a lame joke.

I have no idea what to think. I am vacillating between astonishment and anger.

It has to be a mistake. I wasn't insulting or racist or profane.

If they are serious about not allowing humor, even my lame attempts at it, I fear for the future of our country.

I am an almost 20 year THR member. It has definitely changed, and not for the better. It's now filled with many self-annoited "experts" who demand respect and concurrence with their viewpoints, both in the membership and on MOD staff. Free discussion and dissenting opinions are not welcome.

I post about space aliens and it gets deleted. I was truly hoping someone would post evidence of them. Maybe add to my data base? I am not impressed by Elon Musk putting a Tesla into orbit! The other forum site has their own section.

Every mod has a different level of tolerance for out-of-context remarks.

One of the mods emailed me that response.

I found that out several times. I have asked a lot of reloading questions, thinking a national audience would give me a broader range of hopefully correct answers.

A lot of guys don't want to help and talk shit about my not knowing as much as they do.

Reminds me of asking here if I need to trim 9mm brass.

Funny. I guess I?ve got to side with you. I?ve owned at least two 442 j-frames but when I saw 442 above my mind immediately went to Oldsmobile. Maybe because my first car was a 1970 Cutlass 442?

Two mods have replied to me. Not the jerkoff that deleted it.

Your remark about a vehicle was humorous but irrelevant to the conversation. That is why it was deleted. You were not penalized (warned/spanked) for it.

The Moderator Kleanbore deleted your post. You should have seen his name in the communication.
I assume he thought the post was off topic.

I did not receive any communication from anyone. They also took down all my posts questioning it.

I have shifted from astonishment to anger. It's silly, I know. But it was nothing worthy of sending down the memory hole.

455- please go on the site and post the same thing. Let's see what Kleanbore does.

Haven?t been to THR in years. I think after the site was sold (stolen?) it changed and started taking a different tone. That was years ago.

It?s sad though. No humor. And it sounds like not helpful but just a lot of $hit posting.

The High Road used to have very good survival information. Lots of stories of true life experiences! It was more than a firearm site, it had very useful information of all aspects of life. I was never a member. It was a really good read.
