comment VANISHED
Some staff member waves a magic wand, I'll bet.
(I've had 4-8 of my posts vanish in such a fashion. Not that they were offensive, just that the site seems to like to 'slant' topics in one direction or another.)

Even if it's entirely chess related?
This is a chess site. How could anything under the sun being discussed on a chess site's forum not be entirely chess related?

You were being sarcastic, right?
No, my point was that any thoughts by a chess player on a chess website's forum, are chess related, by definition (imo).

Your argument contains the Division Fallacy. A whole may have a certain property, but that does not imply that each piece of the whole also has that property. Just because the site has the property that it is chess-related does not imply everything on the site is.

I think rather that this was sftac's point.

The moderation here may be inconsistent and erratic at times, but I seriously doubt that this was the intent.

Oh yeah, this is definitely a chess site...
How do comments just vanish--no [comment deleted] or anything?
