"...waging all things in the balance..." -- shouldn't that be "weighing"?

I thought I'd fixed that here a year or so ago (after finding an alternate translation).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I just replied to this post[^] and it simply won't go through.
When I go to my messages, it says (not publicly visible), why is that?
Edit: After sometime, it showed up, but, still. Why?

Oh, got it. Shouldn't CP let the hamster know it's trapped in the cage? 
At least put a sign on the cage "You will be free soon".

Probably not - it means the spammers don't know that it's happening, and can't "tweak" the messages they post until they do get through.
Honest, if you look at the moderation queue, the number of "false positives" is vastly exceeded by the "true positives" - and if the detector was relaxed, then a good number of the ones we don't want could get through.
One weekend a little while ago, the moderation queue had thousands of spam items in it - even 10% of those getting through works Protectors and staff to the bone trying to kill them.
If it's any consolation, I get trapped by it from time to time as well!

That actually makes sense, but I did double post before I realized what was going on. Well, at least now i know

The hamsters got in trouble with Chris for posting garbled data when they get drunk. Instead of trying to keep them sober, Chris decided it was easier to have a moderation queue, most things slip through but occasionally you get caught by the 'possible drunk hamster' net.

The money I get from the 'Big Cheeks' for running the sunflower hooch pipeline keeps me safe from any retribution by you, so I just have to keep one step ahead of @sean-ewington and I'm in the clear. And let's face it, running in stilettos is hard; or so Mrs Wife tells me.

I heard a rumor that sending two bottles of sunflower hooch my way would improve your chances. Could just be a rumor though.
Thanks,

Last week I double posted because I thought I must have been so proud of myself for my cleverness that I must have forgot to submit the post as minutes later it was not there.
Which exposes me for the tool that I am.

I guess I am as proud as you are, because I too did double post

Must be a personal problem. I have never double posted.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

The lounge is being moderated by a pair of twins from Lithuania who run a bordello in Transylvania as a hobby. Rugged individuals that love KitKat bars and watch reruns of Gilligans Island by day.
The reason your post was so slow going through is because you haven't set up an account with them yet. The account consists of a promise to provide them with KitKat bars in return for their full attention when you post a message. Extra KitKat bars gets addition favoritism such as voting for bad jokes, etc..
