As far as that supplement comment- and the snide comment you made on Shortgrass's supplement thread about me- if you look back- I did not post on that thread....Soapweed did- and it was a comment of mine taken out of context from a PB thread where he was moaning and groaning about ethanol subsidies raising grain/corn prices so high that it had made cake prices overly high...

But like I said it was PB being brought over to ranchtalk ....
Actually, that thread you're referencing started out right here in Ranch Talk and that's where it was when you made your comment to Soapweed. It was moved to PB later, but I saw it right here in Ranch Talk first and you sure didn't seem to mind getting political then. Here's a link to that post:

As for your little stunt last night, I watched that transpire and I'll have to admit that I'm extremely disappointed in you. One minute the thread was there - the next minute it was gone.
For those that missed it, you posted some pics, one of them was a bull calf that you apparently like. Katrina commented that at her place, the calf would be a steer instead of a bull.
After the thread disappeared, I used my back button and went back until I found it. I saved it all just in case you wanted to argue about it. Here is the pic and the quotes:

A little bull calf that keeps catching my eye.. Double bred Bannon of Wye.

I would be eyeballing him too.... He'd be a steer at my house..
Here's a link to where that thread used to be. People can see that the thread no longer exists:

I thought her comment was funny - it happens here all the time. One person thinks a bull is good, somebody else thinks it should be a steer. Nothing unusual in that regard. But, what you did does NOT happen all the time, Oldtimer.
You didn't like her comment, so you just used your moderator powers and deleted the whole thread. I don't think that's appropriate for a moderator to do. If you didn't like the comment, you could have debated it or edited your post to take out the pic. That's the recourse available to anybody else who finds their cattle criticized - it should be no different for you.
You had no right to delete her post just because you didn't like it and just because you have the power to delete it. You can blame it on politics all you want, but the truth is that she made a comment that is often made about bulls here in Ranch Talk. Politics had nothing to do with it.
But, you didn't like that comment being made about YOUR cattle, so you got rid of it and now you're looking for an excuse and trying to blame it on politics. Other people can't delete the posts that they don't like - a moderator shouldn't be allowed to do it, either. Very disappointing.
(By the way, I'm saving a copy of this post. So if you choose to delete it, I'll just keep posting it until one of us gets tired of doing it.)
