Censorship on the forum

Steve,

RELAX.

This forum is to be a fun place to go and to be quite frank, that thread and many of it's participants were over the line. Childish behavior requires parental (moderator) intervention. It is one thing to reaspectfully disagree with someone (as in the DerGasser post exchange) and another to make it personal. This forum is a bit different from other national and global forums since we actually know (or may eventually meet) the members. Everyone get out and drive your cars. It's been a long winter and the fresh air will do us all some good.

Tony, I understand your thoughts, but I don't agree with selected posts being deleted. I don't know who was "talked to" about the posts, but I certainly wasn't. If someone took things the wrong way, well that's just too bad.

Unless the entire thread is deleted, I can't see why the moderator would delete certain posts, but not others. With the deletions, the thread makes no sense.

What other threads have been censored? Does a moderator have the right to censor what they don't like? If they censor, should someone be notified that their posts were "inappropriate" and removed?

Yes, it's been a long winter and the next month will be even longer. However, I can't deal with someone deciding on their own to remove my posts.
