Censorship--Changing a story line by removing chapters

Monday 3/31/08 Tommy and PomPom Donaho Circus Gatti Elephants from Jim Cole CFA

I commented: Buckles,
Seeing the long lunge whip in Tom's hand reminds me of the elephant act Hawthorn used to have trained by Mac MacDonald, with Tina, Rohnni, and Siam. You also worked that act with a lunge whip, as the did a number of lead changes, three's, etc. much like horses in a liberty act.

Buckles responded:
The first day Mac started me out on the Besalou elephants in 1965, I asked, "Do I have to use a whip?" and he said, of course not, its only for show."

I responded:
Did Mac train with a whip? A lot of his acts, that were worked by others, used a whip?

Now follow closely.

A friend called me and said, "did you see what Buckles responded to you. It sounded like he was saying "you" didn't need a whip. Was that a "shot" at you? I said, of course not, that's not what he meant.

But quess what? I went back and deleted my first comment mentioning the lunge whip, and now if you read it, with the first "chapter" deleted, looking at the picture of Tom with a whip, you might get the wrong idea, as my friend did, that he is taking a "shot" at Tom Donoho. I never met Tom Donoho, yet I was able to turn the attention on him.

Just as letting an anonymous respond to a post, while censoring rebuttals to anonymous, you alter the course of the debate. Don't fool yourself by thinking people don't think what is now presented is history To them it is now God's Holy Word.
