When a long-time poster gets the boot, it's not because of one post. The admins watch for patterns, and I very much doubt that your post in that thread is typical of your posts.

Try not to worry, sweetie...

I'm OK, thanks. Just in shock over Robin Williams' death.

Watching some of the posted clips...laughing through my tears.

I would like to think it was my alert, but I think there must have been a jammed in-box for admins on that thread.

edit, oh this is kinda meta-ish but I will vote to leave it if anybody alerts

You made a proper judgment call it would seem. For my part I''ll give you a nod and a well done.

Whoever posted it did. Thread locked, as it should be. I actually sent that one straight to the trash when I saw it. YUK.

They love to come out when someone notable dies from suicide. They're completely clueless.
