I agree that this little bit of the world does not have to be like that and for many years it was not.

I don't question the many attempts to achieve this are (largly) well-intentioned but this end is not something that can be imposed.

If our forum is to be a place where all posters can feel safe to contribute - then the only way this can be acheived and the the only way it was once achieved is by the example set.

Somebody should buy The Shambles a PlayStation.
Or membership in a gym, maybe.

You think too much, my man.
Take it easy on yourself

See, Shambles, the editing action has been recorded in these words: This thread has been deleted

If this recording is to be the case in the future for all such deletions - it is a welcome start.

But I trust you will accept - that this case is the exeception rather than the rule?

And the fact that this deletion was recorded, was only due to the fact that some unknown person had already closed that thread and there was a link provided to it in this thread.      

Otherwise that thread would sadly have joined the every growing list of what are described as 'silent deletions'.
