You directly stated in that thread that the "walls had ears" and you "were told"
that there were ideas from Fruit in Fritz.

It was so obvious that the _entire_ moderation team agreed with the removal of
the thread.

That wasn't a Skinnerism at all, it was simply you creating noise where there
isn't any to be had.
