Has it been removed? If so, Why?

Cheers,

Pepe

There was so hot flame war even my cables start smoking and I could roast some bacon over my modem

That is sad, IMO. Was a revealing thread about who's who in AH.

Again, I'm angry when anyone decides what I am able to read an not.

Being nasty stuff, I can't see why it has been removed, at least as a whole thread.

I usually believed that we (in general) were a bunch of rather mature individuals (with the logical exceptions). Maybe I have to change my mind.

I would understand closing the thread, but the censorship thing drives me mad. Who is afraid anyone reading that thread? Why?

Maybe the thread degenerated wildly (overnight in Euroland, couldn't track it) but the subject of the thread were the reasons that forced a guy to leave the game. He was not the average guy leaving. So the thread was one of the most illustrative of the character and manners of a lot of guys here.

Damn, I HATE censors. If I'm given good enough reasons as to understand censorship was the only measure available, I only feel disgusted as to that need arises. If I am not given any reason, I just anger.

Sorry but I had to vent.

I think somebody posted a lewd picture in the thread, so it had to be deleted.

Can't that picture be deleted alone?

Back to normal whineig mode

Don't know.

It was simply locked yesterday afternoon US time and stayed that way. Disappeared this morning.

IMHO, we didn't lose much; I saw nothing really new in there.

Same stuff, different day.

It got really personal, and upon reflection I think I might have removed it, too. There was a lot of extremely personal material about a customer, and when you think about it it probably was a good idea from a business sense to get it off here.

I was one of the parties guilty of dragging it on and have no problem with it being gone.

Yea! It's gone, back to politics

I read the thread when it first started but skipped over it on later purusals due to an extreme lack of interest on my part.

No regrets I assure you.

Hopefully that whole situation will diffuse into the background noise of the universe.

The thread should have died before it was even posted.

We aren't missing anything at all.

I have been a re-born poster...I now take a 20mm cartridge and bite on it real hard before posting my feelings...seems to be working...only 2 posts today so far!

After giving another thought, I think I agree with you. I still hate censorship, but that kinda fills what is a reasonable cause for a thread to be removed.

Thks for explanations.

Cheers,

Pepe
