Hey ….. now is it just me ….. or are there a lot less deletions lately here on the forum ? Have the 2007 Deletion Wars finally ended ? For a while there a lot of people were deleting a lot of other people and a tidal wave of deletions seems to have swept over the forum we all love and cherish. So I guess that’s over ….. hmmm ….. sweet ! Peace and tranquility has been restored to the land ….. outstanding ! Love and harmony towards our fellow man now pervades cyber space ….. brilliant ! I’m actually starting to get a warm fuzzy feeling. Let’s all join hands across the forum and sing “Kumbaya”. But first …. let me just make this official ….. with an official sounding proclamation …. wait a minute while I go get my crown ….. okay here goes nothing;

Let it be known throughout the land that ….. His Royal Highness King Lotus ‘the First’ ….. Just Supreme Ruler of the Island Long ….. Lord Majesty of B’klyn ….. Duke of Kings County ….. Crown Prince of Billyburg ….. Kind Sovereign of the East River ….. Grand Monarch of New Amsterdam ….. Great Emperor of the Olive Garden ….. Earl of ‘The City That Never Sleeps’ ….. Royal Knight of the Eleventh District ….. Shogun of Times Square …. Hero of Unscrupulous Real Estate Brokers ….. CEO of Lotuspath Inc. ….. Big Kahuna of Thai Cuisine …. Grand Poobah of the Uber-Deleted …. Protector of the People of the NYC Forum ….. And ….. All Around ‘Good Joe’ …... (But you can all just call me Lotus) …..

….. do hereby declare and decree …. that it shalt be known throughout the kingdom that from this day forward ….. NO man or woman shalt unjustly delete another …..

NOR any righteous individual shalt find quarters and no ill will shalt prevail on this forum ….. from this day hence ….. it is thus decreed

The ‘War of the Deleters’ is officially over.
