I don't know how anyone could have taken offense to your intended post. Perhaps you hit the "Preview" button instead of the "Post" button and you only THINK that it was deleted and that it was never posted. My advice is not to do anything rash and to wait out the evening and maybe one of the message board administrators will discover by morning what went wrong. In any event ... the bottom line is that club is not responsible for whatever the outcome is. I'm sure deep down you know that as well.
