My personal opinion as to something they should add to BP.net

I think people should have the right to delete there posts. Anyone else agree or disagree? State your opinion as to why or why not.

I disagree. You should always think whatever you are posting, thoroughly through before you submit it. At which point its out there for everyone to see. If its something you would like to take back, maybe it shouldn't have been said in the first place.

I believe they should be allowed to delete if they want. It would tidy everything up a bit I'm sure.

I understand why you have created this post. The rules of this forum were made available to you before you posted your first thread. They are the same rules that apply to everyone that posts here. Why should they be changed because one person is disatisfied with the result?

However, your original thread and this one does bring to the foreground a larger problem. People should think very carefully before putting anything out on the internet. Be it this forum, or facebook , etc. You should think of it like firing a gun. Once you pull the trigger, it is no longer in your control, as is any collateral damage that results. And that doesn't relieve you of the responsibility or consequences.

Whether you delete a post or not it is too late to stop the ripple effect. Let this be a lesson to you. Choose your posts, words carefully.

And I believe you should think before you post this way there will be no need for your post to be deleted. :gj:

Allowing members to delete their post is allowing room for abuse, anyone would be able to type whatever they want whenever they want including content that is against our TOS and make it disappear right before the staff can catch it a bit to convenient don't you think

Around here it's a bit like in real life you are ACCOUNTABLE for your action , I know it's harsh but what can you do life is not always fair. :rolleyes:

I know it's hard to post something and not get the answer YOU want to hear but like my mom used to tell me if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. :gj:

BTW if you hear something you don't want to hear in this thread, just to let you know it won't be deleted either ;)

This was my opinion as a member.

Slang

Pissant is an epithet for an inconsequential, irrelevant, or worthless person, especially one who is irritating or contemptible out of proportion to his or her significance. A Virginia politician who also popularized the term once silenced a heckler by saying "I'm a big dog on a big hunt and I don't have time for a piss-ant on a melon stalk."[9]
The term piss-ant can also be used as an adjective, usually as a pejorative, to mean insignificant and annoying.

I have NO idea why this comes to mind...

I'm going to select my following words very carefully, because I know they will stick around a while:

Just because somebody feels like a boob after being dissatisfied with the results of a post, doesn't mean it should be deleted. Grow some thicker skin, get used to the internet, and realize that the responses you got weren't even inflammatory. Some threads DO get out of hand, and some are obnoxious. The thread you seem hung up on, was full of several comments from people that were either 1) concerned about their hobby or 2) concerned about your well being. It is still full of advice that can be learned by anybody else that might be interested in a similar topic.

Well all I am going to say in response is Fleedle Deedle, and thank you for your opinions.

I think it is important that everyone know why he is posting this. He asked yesterday for us to tell him a good snake to train with before getting a venomous snake. Everybody responded respectfully that we thought it was a better idea to get a mentor to help guide him in to collecting hots, not just for his safety but for the safety of our rights as collectors.

He then posted that he wanted to get a retic since they weren't band and got large. At the time a few of us started to think he was just posting for a reaction from us.

I now see that he is crying because we didn't endorse his death wish and we gave him a path that would require work and maturity.

OP,
Go buy your cobra and poke him with your stick, we can't stop you. And though it is obvious you are not into taking the given advise please do as someone stated on your other post and leave a note stating you were told what to do but choose to be pig headed and blaze your own path.

Grow up:tears:
