Look, I completely understand your want to remove any content that is posted on this forum. As an administrator, you are of course free to discriminate between which posts follow a thread, and which would be better off posted elsewhere. I don't ever expect a link to one of my videos to survive on any forum, because it is beyond my purview to dictate what should, and should not be allowed.

Now, in response to your comment:

This member of your forum did not contact me in any fashion. If you click the "graph" icon beneath my video, you are directed to places that the video has been posted online. Youtube provides links to their content providers when their videos are imbedded, or linked to on another site. I did not contact this user, and this user made no attempt to contact me. I came to this forum because of the link on my video, and decided to post because, well, of the defamatory nature with which my video was handled, and because I too own a ball python. Her name is charlie.

You did not simply, or respectfully respond, but with contempt - removed the video link - Here is what you said "Hi,

Let's try and keep the obviously fishing for a response and argument crap the heck off a thread intended to deal with a tragedy in a responsible manner eh?

Go post that rubbish in the quarantine room if you must.


dr del"

Now, the manner in which you responded to this link is clearly not benign, or civilized. Not to mention that the consolation of being allowed to post in a quarantine room, is segregation which administrators must grant permission for your membership to view. This member posted this video as another means of bringing people together. That is the message of the video. And had you viewed that, you would have clearly seen that human hands are the ones moving rocks and steel off of piles of rubble. Guided by our own empathy, and desire to help one another. Again, you are the admin here. Neither myself nor any other member should dictate what is written or responded to within these walls. But, I urge caution. We must attempt to understand a thing, before summary judgement appeals to a misguided opinion about that thing.
