Why was this post deleted?

So, was fivefreshfish's post deliberately deleted as a double to taumenson's, or are whole threads disappearing too?

By way of explanation to those who didn't witness: unless I hallucinated the whole episode, I just participated in a thread about how fff broke MeTa through the use of single quotes in taumeson's thread (sorry about the mis-spell in the post, btw), and that thread seems to have vanished.

That's not all! I'm receiving threats of personal deletion dare I ever reveal the Super Sekrit trick to breaking MeTa!

Do not risk your life by looking at the taumeson thread's source!

i jest

Say, maybe whatever M did to let J have delete privvies has been hacked by Bad Guys, who are now roaming Me* and deleting stuff at random.

you can't comment further on my post, so FFF's post was kinda necessary.

i guess we have this post instead?

So, now what? Do we doom this post, too, by mentioned the single quotation mark of Damnation?

People do things "on accident" in London where "Accident" is the latest designer drug of choice.

I fixed the broken coding in the thread, so the thread telling me about broken code wasn't necessary, as this one isn't either.
