Any reason my topic and subsequent posts were removed?

I am not a moderator, but maybe violation of Rule 9. Blatant, global, or rampant law enforcement bashing is prohibited. Discussions of specific identifiable events presented factually are fine.

I wasn't bashing anyone.

I find it strangely odd that no moderators will fess up to deleting my post. How am I to know what infraction was comitted? Please remove my registration, and username from this Nazi website. I no longer want to be associated with you people.

Have you checked your PM?

If you don't think you violated any of the rules and haven't been informed of any violation then try to post it again and see what happens.

If you don't already have a PM, then PM the moderator and seek clarification.

You stated in one of your other posts (that weren't removed) that you had been watching the forum for a few months so you presumably know that this site has people of many diverse cultures and political views, I am not sure how many are "Nazi" but if there are any I have yet to encounter them.

It is your choice to leave or not but if you are a regular reader then you know that the site is one of the best gun sites on the web.

You most certainly were. Your post didn't merely ask advice on how to defend against a citation given by an off duty officer in his personal vehicle. You went on a tirade against him filled with pejorative terms. That's blatant LEO bashing in violation of Rule 9.

Not only did you violate Rule 9, your reference to "the obligatory point to the crouch" is a clear and unmistakable profanity and a sexual innuendo in violation of Rules 1 and 8.

The thread was moved to the Moderators Forum for discussion to see if it could be edited so that it wouldn't violate the rules and then returned to the open forum. Obviously this wasn't done fast enough for you, but please remember that all of the Moderators are volunteers who have real jobs and family obligations. They handle matters as quickly as they can.

There was a very easy way to avoid this issue however, you could read and follow the rules.

I explained the issues with your post and the delay in response that you perceive. If you are still upset and want me to delete your registration, I will do so. However, if you are satisfied with the explanation I provided and want to stay, I'll be happy to leave your registration active, but only if 1) you apologize for your blatant violation of the rules of this community; 2) apologize to the Moderators for the "Nazi" comment; and 3) apologize to the 7,000+ members for your childish "I no longer want to be associated with you people" comment. Otherwise, I will be thrilled to remove you from our forum.

It amazes me that some people can blatantly violate a site's rules, then try to play the victim when corrective action is taken by the Moderators.

Chas.

I wasn't playing the victim, I asked for clarification and got none. No PM, nothing.
So yeah remove me like I asked.
I no longer wish to be associated with you people.
Good day.

Yea, guys with drug references in their user name, don't need to be hanging 'round here anyway.

Maybe its my birthday.

I moved the thread. I am sorry I didn't PM you immediately but I wasn't sure as to what violation I wanted to PM you about. I moved the thread pending Moderator discussion. The discussion took a little longer than I anticipated and I lost track of the thread.

I believe you have our response now.

My thanks to Charles and all the moderators. I know it's a difficult job, but well done by you guys.

"Nazi," "no longer want to be associated with you people" don't look like comments asking for "clarification." You didn't want clarification, you wanted to complain. If you really didn't have a clue as to what you did wrong and truly wanted to know, then even a quick review of the rules would have given you your answer. It's ironic that the attitude you are showing here is the same one that got you the citation. Even in your last post that I edited you had to throw in a profanity.

Bye, you won't be missed!
Chas.

Mutual, I'm sure.
