So, I received this in my alerts reference my supposed reply to this thread:
Well, I have not been drinking lately because of a problem with my pancreas - so no posting stuff in a drunken state. So, whatever I posted here that was considered bad enough to have a post of mine deleted and then me given a stern warning, via an alert, about posting a "...racial pejorative (sort of)" is beyond the scope of my imagination. Then to read that my post was deleted due to me having written something about cruelty to animals is preposterous in a thread in which folks are mentioning killing off snakes left and right and I have never advocated killing snakes except maybe in self defense or if needed for food.
I never said I committed cruelty to animals, or anything like it. I wrote about what someone else did. By the way removing a rattler's rattles is not cruel to the snake as it is completely dead dried tissue/skin without any live nerve endings. It is dangerous for people who do not get the warning buzz. Killing the snakes with snake-shot, sticks, and farm implements such as shovels, as many here seem to do in TX, is what is cruelty to animals. I also never once mentioned me doing anything racial and never used a racial term (not even sort of) as the term 'wets' does not refer to a race except in the minds of race baiting liberals. 'Wet' originally meant someone who had crossed the border by way of swimming or wading and race was not a factor. It was later used to mean any illegal alien. Being I worked Border Patrol and Customs Patrol and Customs Investigations and ICE, all my work was relative to border crossings and I can assure you 'wets' come in each and every race from around the world and I have arrested white ones, black ones, brown ones and on and on - there is absolutely nothing racial in my use of that term - not even sort of.
If you were offended by me saying I admired the man who removed the rattles from rattlesnakes, that was said in jest as related to the snakes - was that really so hard to figure based on my past posts. Yet, I did admire him greatly and still do and will always do so. He was a patriot, a hard worker, a fair supervisor, a good friend and a tough old coot who believed defending our borders from the raging tides of illegal aliens entering our nation was a good and patriotic thing to do. You will note, I did not say I admired what he did to the snakes or why he did it but just that I admired him. You - whoever sent me that alert and deleted my post - left it to your own imagination to decide why I admired him and missed the fact it was meant in jest relative to the rattle removal.

By the way, I would have sent the above posting as a PM to the mod or admin who deleted my post had he or she the courtesy and respect to have sent me a PM from his or her account so I could know who did it and to whom I should respond. Instead, I got an alert (that shows up on the top right corner of the page when you click on the bell icon) so no way to know who deleted the post or who sent the warning. Thus I posted my inquiry here.
