I was just skimming the "Why do people hate paysites?" thread at S2C, and I found myself getting infuriated at Delphy. The holes in the discussion where posts have been edited or completely burninated got worse and worse as you went on - some sort of intellectual Swiss cheese!
I've collected all the "holes" from three pages of the thread. It's rather disturbing in its length, let alone the reasons given.

What, is this a speech and debate tournament? WTH?Page 4 of thread:- Last edited by Delphy : 12-15-2006 at 08:38 AM. Reason: Removed references to now removed links
-I find it highly ironic to include this post, which didn't get burninated:Some of us are saving this thread, to encapsulate one of the rare moments that honest, free speech and healthy debate was allowed on S2C!
HA.-This message has been deleted by Delphy.

-And around here the great Delphy himself lowers himself to enter discussion:A lot of people in this thread are anti-Paysite, but the thread starter posed an interesting question which deserves both sides of the discussion, not just one.
I would like people to therefore explain why they like paysites, and why they pay money for them. Note this that this does not mean you can just say "I like (insert site here)". You have to say "I like (insert site here) and I support them being a paysite becuase of X and Y and Z". In other words, clarify your ethos. Let's not have this all one sided with the nays, shall we?
I am watching what people say here, and any discussion that strays off the topic will be dealt with accordingly, as will specific bashes against people and linking to sites that promote theft of intellectual properly.
With that said, I will leave this open for a while longer to see where it goes - this topic gets raised every couple of days it seems, so in the holiday spirit, I wont lock it down unless you lot cause trouble.
"You have to say..." "I am watching what people say here..." GRR the bastard makes me angry. And of course the very next post was a sheep thanking him for bringing order. *sigh*
Back to the list (still on page 5):-This message has been deleted by Delphy. Reason: Off topic
-This message has been deleted by Delphy.
-At this point is something very confusing: Delphy eloquently presents many of the arguments Blue, Surelyfunke, and Pescado had been using. He makes excellent points. I agree with what he says. *shakes head*-This message has been deleted by Delphy. Reason: Why not just *ask* the site in question instead of cluttering up this thread.
He was probably justified in deleting this one, looking at the other posts by this dumbass sheep.
-A post by the afore-mentioned dumbass sheep:Well said Delphy. Wow, I never heard an admin curse before on a Sims 2 message boards. As for atavera's custom instruments, I am angry. Nobody cannot get his downloads anymore because he deleted all of his post. I was really hoping to get his stores, now that I could unzip them. But of chorse he deleted them before I could even save them onto a disc. Why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh. There's another ass-licking at the end of this page (STILL pg. 5!):I hope that you consider this on topic, but I bow to your superior knowledge.
Okay, 5 pages is about enough for folks to get the idea. I just wanted to put things into perspective. I also wanted to vent to people who WON'T delete my posts or lock this thread (or ban me).
BTW, the entire 35-page piece of Swiss cheese is still online:
http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=30984&page=1&pp=25Yeah, my post was one of those many that got deleted by that tyrant with a statement telling me to stay on topic.. I was on topic. He just didn't like what I said.
I hope that you consider this on topic, but I bow to your superior knowledge.
What? Give me a freakin break!! Humph! since when has there ever been a human with superior knowledge.. Since when did he put himself upon a pedestol to be warshiped? I bow to no human.
