Deletion Of Thread

[Brian Minkin]

A post was made by a member of this forum that was an expression of his opinion.  I did not feel that the post violated any forum rules although I strongly disagreed with his opinion.  Many additional posts discussing his opinion and expressing other opinions followed and it was my decision to allow the thread to continue because again I did not see any violation of the forum rules and guidelines.  However the member who originally started the thread deleted his first post and once this occurred I decided the thread no longer had the original focus that it started with.  At this point I decided to delete the thread. If some members feel this is censorship so be it. It is my job as the senior admin of this forum to make this decision and I have acted in that capacity.
