Our membership is hemorrhaging- any ideas (and all of its 225 posts) has been deleted by persons and for reasons unknown.

I think it was the post from Catspaw explaining why he thinks he should be seen to indulge himself in his ossessions, to be seen to compromise his 'friends' and openly encouraged by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team to inflict on our forum any form of obscene personal abuse he wishes to - but still have some right and entitlement to judge and try and prevent others (who do not contribute such posts and some that follow his example) from posting what they wish.

That may have been the reason for that thread's deletion - or it may have been that it contained some sensible suggestions.
