I disagree, I find nothing to criticise in the moderators decision to delete posts on this thread., that is just my opinion, for what it is worth.
The moderators are volunteers, who are doing their best to be even handed and who are trying to prevent threads getting out of control and unpleasant, please give them a break.
this forum would be worse without moderators, moderating, if you dont like it dont visit the forum, and dont visit this thread.
