My recent post in Is there a magic ingredient that keeps ice-cream soft? was deleted from Jeromi.

I would say that i was expecting that, because I knew I was not answering to the question. In fact, I was expecting negative votes, but that is better to me.

I'm sorry, but being Italian I could not resist. =) And I find absolutely right the punitive action. And I thank you Jeromi for your kindness, which I find here anywhere.

To return to the post, a comment is not interesting, if not for me (exactly as the deleted post was). At the end I said mine, but if I were a person not so passionate, I would have shut up.

I knew perfectly well I was making a mistake and I apologize for the time that I hid. Thank you again for your kindness.

Cordially.

  • You also definitely don't need to apologize. Closing and deletion is part of the normal everyday process here and doesn't constitute any kind of a mark against you (it's certainly not punitive). Though we certainly appreciate your candor.

You haven't phrased this as a question, but I'll go ahead an interpret it as a fuzzy one about what the right thing to do in this case was!

  • If you ever want to tell me something, you can also simply ping me in chat - prefix a message with @Jefromi and I'll be notified! (And I'll come in and reply when I have a chance.)

  • I'm glad you're passionate enough about your ice cream and your Italianness to want to contribute! In the future, if you feel a comment isn't enough, do note that you can also ask and answer your own question! Your answer might've been appropriate for a question about how to serve soft ice cream without any special ingredients, for example. Though in this case, I don't think you'd need to ask another question - there's already a bit of a mess of soft ice cream questions, and perhaps one of the existing ones would be a good home. (You should still be able to see your deleted answer, should you want to copy and paste it somewhere new.)

  • I'm glad you thought I was kind! But really, you should expect that. I'm a new mod and trying to be a good one - so feel free to call me out on it if you think I'm not being nice enough. (Now that I've posted this for posterity here, I should also add: sometimes mods do have to be make final judgments, be firm, and do things like deleting content, and I'll of course still do those things - I'll just try to be polite about it.)

  • sorry I am very new (newbeing) I am learning some thing at once. Never tried the chat. And, ok, you are a new mod and I am a new user. Welcome among mods ;-). In fact, I didnt found very gentle persons in this section (you are the first one). Since i though to abandone it. But i love cooking, i write about cooking and finally I can learn new things too. So see you soon, gentle mod =) - (Of course I am passionate about ice cream, leave to you your hot dog) :P
