Mr Gall, I am delighted to see you starting a new edition of "Closed threads & deleted posts".

I am glad to see that someone is pleased.

I am sorry there has to be a new one started - as there was no good reason to close the first one. http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=93659&messages=1827&page=1&desc=yes

But the main regret is that while posts and entire threads continue to be closed and deleted - for no good reason - that discussion of these actions and the justifications given for them will have to (try) and continue too.

When reason and some form of consistent logic is finally seen to be openly applied on our forum by our 'moderators' - when all posters are seen to be given equal treatment - when our forum can see them all and judge if these imposed editing actions are proportionate and when a better example of posting conduct is seen to be set by them - there will be no need for such threads as these.

If as much effort was spent by our 'moderators' in addressing these problems as is seen to be spent by some of them - in judging, complaining about and generally interfering with these threads - I feel that this would prove to be of great benefit to all posters.
