    that'd be great - it should be called purgatory on the A&A forum.

    No, purgatory does not exist. This is the A&A forum.

    Why was the post deleted?
    It was not offensive. Why not repost it and let people see for themselves?

    On what grounds was that post deleted?
    Because an inthread warning was issued here concerning posts which:

    And secondly, that A+A is a discussion board where posters expect to be able to discuss topics, even sensitive ones, without others jumping in and questioning their right to discuss and without others going out of their way to infer some silly political conclusion which causes them to hyperventilate, fist-wave or otherwise generally disturb the peace.
    Your post was deemed to have contravened one or more of these conditions, so it was deleted. As the warning said it would be. I've deleted a second post of yours too as it's more or less a duplicate.

    You might want to consider giving more thought to the way in which you post and you might enjoy the discussion more.

    hope its ok to compare 8massesforno8 with this Are you one of the mad yokes signing up for the Mass event on Facebook? http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/are-you-one-of-the-mad-yokes-signing-up-for-the-mass-event-on-facebook-761157.html
    Thousands of people are expressing their interest in a Mass event on Facebook set up by the page: Sunday Morning Mass On RTE One.

    The Facebook page has been set up since 2012 and posts random messages about Mass every now and again including: “Great Mass on right now!” and “More Mass this Sunday. Nothing unusual about it at all. Nothing.”

    Suddenly the page made a Mass event for October 30 and so far 10,000 people have signed up to go and another 3,300 people are interested.
    was there a metric on facebook for 8massesforno8, this probably got a lot more interactions

    people started leaving alot of silly messages http://www.her.ie/life/someone-created-a-facebook-event-for-mass-and-all-hell-is-breaking-loose/317319 http://www.irishmirror.ie/whats-on/whats-on-news/best-posts-over-100000-people-9135492

    there was criticism of blasphemy so someone suggested donations for Pieta House http://www.irishtimes.com/student-hub/facebook-mass-boosts-donations-for-pieta-house-1.2848400

    I think it's time to let the man seriously rest in peace!

    Way too much lamenting going on for far too long!

    I'm inclined to agree. I know there were certain milestones, the rearranged match etc but that should be the end of it now. However the young lads 8 mass idea was well intentioned and only a proper knob would criticise the kid for doing it.

    This is problematic, I think, in more ways than one. Though of course voicing any kind of dissenting opinion will be seen as insensitive.


    THE 11-YEAR-OLD son of Anthony Foley has launched a different kind of Facebook call-out in his dad’s memory.
    The Facebook page – dubbed #8masses4no8 – says that the family has been overwhelmed by the support it has received in the last week, and urges fans to attend mass for the next eight Sundays in tribute to Foley, whose birthday would have been this coming Sunday.
    Foley’s son, also named Tony, has asked “that this page be set up in his memory” according to the Facebook page.
    Munster head coach Anthony Foley passed away suddenly and tragically in France last week from a heart complaint.
    “The number 8 (Foley’s former position) is, of course, a special number for Tony and his family but the eight Sundays also bring us up to that special family time of year, Christmas,” the page continues.

    http://www.thejournal.ie/anthony-foley-son-mass-3044192-Oct2016/

    The children of the deceased are perfectly entitled to ask that the memory of the father be respected in a manner of their choosing - should folk decide to remember their father.

    I don't see any difficulty with their request.
