Global ban on single use plastic?

[_Jersey Girl]

Xeno the missing post was the one where I said I had returned to comment on straws, mentioned your links and that I was happy that you had linked to reusable colored straws, and mentioned the Earth Day project. As to the post that you copied, I probably corrected a typo in that edit since typos produce the same effect as fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

In any case, I want a confession and the bastard who stole my posts cuffed and locked up for it. No bail!

I just posted a duplicate post and deleted it to test the mod log. It recorded the deletion.

I’m not saying it’s aliens...


...but it’s aliens.

Confess cowardly THEIF! This is your LAST chance!!

The fact that it seems to be several posts missing makes me skeptical of just simple user error though.

I don't have the power to delete my own posts. It cannot be user error. Perhaps the powers-that-be have installed a biodegradable post option? Check your control panel right quick!

OK folks, somebody’s had their fun, but this has gone too far. I’m going to turn off my monitor, and then whoever took Jersey’s post can return it — no questions asked. Just put it back where you found it. I’ll count to 100 before turning it back on. This is your last chance for no harm — no foul.

Ok. Turning my monitor off.... now.

98, 99, 100.

Dammit.

OK then....

All units, be on the lookout for a post, couple days old, three inches tall, couple inches wide, talks about straws — maybe bendy straws. May have been postnapped by anti-environment terrorists.

Ma’am, if you get a call from the postnappers, keep them on the line as long as you can so we can trace the call. And whatever you do, don’t let your other posts leave the trailer park without a police escort.

We’ve got our best detective on the case. We call him Shades. He’ll bring your post home safe and sound. You can take that to the bank.

What? No one has come forward?

This. board. sucks. A low life spineless thieving coward has made off with my stuff and refuses to give it back. I demand justice! I demand restitution! Give me my stuff back, filthy swine!

WANTED: The return of one non-single-use post authored by Jersey Girl OR the identity of the bottom feeder who stole it.

Put it back or suffer the consequences!!I will make it my life's work to hunt you down like the dirty dog that you are and make your every waking moment a miserable pit of stinking eternal hell!!

Give it back!!!

Did you by chance keep a picture of it? I'm thinking milk cartons may do the trick.

Dear Dr. Shades,

I am writing to tell you that someone has stolen my post. That's right, there is a thief running loose on the board and they have absconded with my right to free speech.

What can you do about this, Dr. Shades?

I've prepared a small list of demands...

1. I would like you to do everything in your power to locate the offending party. I'm talking about a total shakedown from top to bottom. This would include inspecting cups/glasses/water bottles in the Mod Forum to make sure that no one is spiking the drinks. Make sure that no one has installed a single use post feature. Personally, I suspect Mav. Don't tell him I said that.

2. If/when you locate the offender, I would like you to hand them over to me to do with them as I see fit. Don't listen in. Just walk away.

3. Until you have located the offender, I would like you to suspend every single poster on this board until you've nailed the person with the possible exception of you and me. We're the only good ones.

Okay? Okay, Dr. Shades?

Say "Okay".
