PfR, nothing posted here is ever permanently deleted. It's the nature of an indexed database that everything is somewhere.

I think if this thread continues to be a place for people to go after those they don't like, it will at least get closed.

Jim said "This is a debating site " No, it's not, and I suppose that bothers me. It's a music site that allows non-music discussion. That means some debate, but sometimes people may want to just talk about something with other folks and hear what they think. That never seems to work because of the debate-aholics, who think it's always necessary to choose up sides and defend their point of view to the death.
