Someone offered me grapes. What a crazy idea! As if I take wine in pill form.

I had a happy childhood. My mom used to put me inside a tire and roll me down the hill.

They were Goodyears.

Frank : It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Jane : Goodyear?

Frank : No, the worst.

I mostly ignore the alerts and reactions. But I noticed this one just now:

Your post in the thread Collection
of Lame Jokes was deleted.
Reason: Reply to deleted post

What does it mean? Did I post something that was considered obscene or inappropriate? I would like to learn from my mistake but I can't figure out what the problem was. It seems my only recourse is to not post in the future. That's easy enough but maybe not the optimal solution. Or maybe it is!

I believe that the false Greta Thunberg - chopsticks statement was removed, with all responses.

I doubt that you did anything wrong. Sometimes when a post is deleted, leaving posts that refer to it no longer make sense so those get swept up also.

I have had this happen to me.

The lack of any specifics in the message often leaves me wondering about what was the post I did wrong with.
No learning possible there. So I could well do it again, making more work for the overworked mentors.
I suppose I could ask a mentor, but that would be too much haranguing the mentors in my case.

Some kind of reference to what was posted would be a big help.

If >your< post is offending, the hivemind mentors >will< let you know. And likely infract you. Otherwise just assume it's somebody else's problem being cleaned up.

Now, for a lame joke.
I collect paper money. Each piece in my collection is note worthy.
