Author deleted or moderated?
The original, although a shocking disclosure, made the point succinctly and I felt without argument. The current post is not as powerful.
ps I didn’t believe you
The original was simply deleted (by a moderator, I assume). Yes, the "shocking disclosure" you refer to is indeed untrue*, and was intended to be ironic, an irony which you clearly recognised.
It's difficult to believe that whichever mod deleted the post didn't also recognise the irony. But if they didn't, it's a strange approach don't you think? That if somebody reveals membership of a hated organisation, that revelation should be deleted? Rather than their beliefs examined or challenged? EDIT Or reported to the police if necessary. END EDIT
And if the mod
did recognise the irony, why didn't they also recognise the point I am making, as you have done?
*I'm fairly sure the organisation I referred to doesn't actually exist.
