humour outlawed?

um I'm not usually one to join in with or start threads on the way ATS is run, or why the mods do as they do but afraid I'm going to have to do so now.

I just posted up something humourous, partly because I thought with all the TBATS and associated bitching that maybe some of us needed a laugh, and within 5 minutes it was removed. Now I did check to see which mod was around at the time but couldn't see one to send this query to privately.

Would someone mind explaining what the problem was to me via U2U and then deleting this topic please? I wasn't aware random funny topics were no longer acceptable in the chit chat forum

thanks

I thought it was funny but it was removed

Oh no.

Two threads have simultaneously appeared on this.

I think mine is better than yours.

Yep, West Yorkshire all right.

Once I was with a group of Yorkshiremen and one Lancastrian. Before I used that last word with them, I wanted to check I had it correct, so I asked (to be sure), "What is it you call someone from Lancashire again?"

One of the Yorkshiremen replied, "A c**t".
