Okay - it is back

Can everyone calm down now?
Thank you, Michael !! From LB
The question in my topic here was not meant to start a drama as most here know me by now..I am not an "attention seeker" nor an "agitator" !
I hated to see her post go ...didn't seem right when so many others that are truly obnoxious to watch are allowed to go on and on! I really don't advocate for "editing" except for the most brutal offenses!
What really upset me was this was this ladys very first topic post!
She poured her heart out and I thought it was a witty and very heartfelt reflection of her experiences this past year or so!
In the first few sentences she was simply relating to the fact that it is often very frustrating when you run up against people that call you names such as "being in a cult" by supporting the ideas we do here!
It would be a shame if we lost such a beautiful new addition to this forum!
Thank you, again! I believe you did the right thing to put it back up!
Thanks to all !!

Michael, You're with us as we all aspire to practice what we preach.
Thank you for being the stand up guy I always understood you to be.
And Belle and friends... You are gold standard bearers. IMHO
There are times to spend the credibility capital you have built up.
Thanks for knowing when not to keep it in
the bank!!!!
AFTER READING ALL
i AM OUT OF HERE TOO...........

Stop the NWO....It's just illumi..Naughty !
Have you ever had anything
Have you ever had anything deleted yet? It's a bad thing.
But you're right Sentinel. DP won't be the same if valuable people leave. This short excerpt from SCButterfly's lost post says it all....
"I come across a picture of Ron Paul's office a la desk plate -- "Don't steal! The government hates competition" and I was smitten. I had to find him. I started shouting about this man from the rooftops! Wow, was I met with disinterest. Strangely enough, South Carolina was more or less "guilted" early on into supporting McCain due to some prior SC McCain bring down in a prior election. A few months later, I sat here, by myself, watching the Iowa speech...pounding the floor and raising my hand in "Testify!" style when Ron Paul was speaking yet feeling my state was a lock for McCain. Still, I went about yelling from the rooftops and like many of you, "lost" a few friends along the way. Oh some of them aren't "lost" forever per se, they just continue to talk about petty things that make your eyes glaze over."
........We've all been there.
After the election,
I took a break for a few months too.
There is so much irritation that is so generously provided by our resident troll population, that it gets people fed up.
Then, one day some subject just becomes the "last straw".
It's not that it is just this one thing. This was just the last thing in a long line of things.
And we all know what I mean.
This is a "BLOG" site...relax
Lets talk about how China stopped buying T-Bills and how the FED will buy 300 B worth for starters.
The problem with some here is you need to get a grip!. You have become lost in a cyber web blog that is sapping you. It has become your whole life.If it is that big of a deal, then ....it was nice knowing you because you need to get a reality check....go hug your kids or watch an Adam Corrola skit or something. Put all that energy into your profession or family.
The Daily Paul is fun place to get news stories and a place where you can comment on them. A place where you can post a thought or two.

"How can we justify to the unemployed and underemployed in the United States the incredible cost of maintaining a global empire?" - Dr. Ron Paul
I remember the first time I
I remember the first time I heard Ron Paul speak. It was the Blowback moment. You all know it. It knocked me over. I've written about it here before. Still today, I all but regard that moment with reverence. It changed my life.
There are many, many talented and intelligent people here. I've read some pretty powerful things on DP this past year and a half. Some posts we never forget.
I am lucky to have read SCButterfly's lost post just now. Just as Liberty Belle wrote, it was beautiful indeed. This was a fine piece of writing. Her story of her "liberty transformation" brought back to me those early days when I was so powerfully impacted by my introduction to Ron Paul.
I believe the deletion of that post was a poor decision. I'm guessing that perhaps Michael did not read the entire post. I think this can be fixed. Reposting SCButterfly's post would be the right thing to do.
What profanity laced rant -
are you all talking about!?! The only thing I read when I hit the link below is this: "Your one-stop source for honest coverage of current events relating to government corruption and abuse of power. News articles and commentary of interest to libertarians, anarchists and freedom-lovers everywhere (including anti-war and Bill of Rights issues such as peace"...etc.
Liberty_Belle don't leave. Just break for a bit but come back.

I have no idea what the post
I have no idea what the post in question said, because it was deleted before I could read it. From what I have read though it doesn't sound like it was near as bad as the time wasted on this thread and losing a DP member.
It would be nice to go to a system where users bump the bad posts down. A lot of ill feelings are swapped around on threads like this and a lot of time is wasted that could be spent on exchanging ideas and saving our country. Maybe it would work out better for everyone if mods could practice a little more tolerance. I have seen posts deleted that were just barely over the line.

Can someone please repost it?
Liberty Belle,
Not sure what is going on. I just got home from work and saw this.
Skimming rather quickly thru, I saw below where you are talking about leaving.
Please do not leave.
same here
without you LB we have a big hole...........to say the least.

stay off the steroids BadBoys.
We need to keep Liberty_Belle
here on the site.
I think something here needs some re-evaluation, when it starts causing valuable members to drop off.
Someone, do something.
If Liberty Belle leaves, don't you realize what will happen? Sure it will go on, but it will have lost something special. Every DP regular knows how hard she works for liberty. Most everyone here has had a reply, unique only to Liberty Belle, to their posts. This shouldn't have to happen.
agreed
she is one of the pillars of DP her work her efforts are outstanding....to say the least..........
just like when JKap who left I would be in deep depression drinking hard...well I am drinking already....
Liberty_ Belle please don't give up on DP....just have some fun in the forest and come back.

This is a long fight and it might take several generations of humans to bring us Liberty...
to dwell on some singular issue and not seeing the long road ahead of us....perhaps you once again had 5 coffee cups?
I am willing to die for the cause of Liberty and here some turn sour because of one post....
NO MATTER HOW RIGHT OR WRONG YOU ARE WE MUST CONTINUE THE FIGHT TOGETHER BECAUSE HUMAN RACE DEPENDS ON US OUR EFFORT!!@!

Just my sentiment, legalize
Looks like a misunderstanding to me, though I don't know the original thread.
Fellowship of the White Rose
Ron Paul was right
I deleted it
Go back and read the posting guidelines.
If you have a problem with another member, take it offline.
kay i'm TOTALLY confused.
i read scbutterfly's post and it was about her journey in the liberty movement.
