So my comment was removed as it was off-topic. Which is not a rule, listed anywhere. Again, this is becoming very tiring, frustrating, punitive, silly, etc. With the personal attacks on me lately, i no longer wish to participate in these “games”, ...

@cleeds I have already contacted the moderator and it was removed because it was flagged by member(s). So only members here would know. I have read the list many times why a comment may be removed.

of course. If I could quote everything I regret I have said, I would be typing for two weeks straight :)

I truly wish to understand why my comment was removed. Who was offended by what?  
Thumper’s Mother
based on what you said to me in the past, I can't say you always adhered to your own (communication) principles. But maybe you are changing your approach to be kinder, that's nice.
