It was edited as it fell into the "a link posted, but no opinion as to why it was posted" category. I.e. it fell into the 'troll' pool.
It had nothing to do with the topic. Blame me if you must. I am the one who instructed the MP's to do away with 'link only' and/or cut-n-paste threads.
Rather than leave it up to someone to decide if the topic is appropriate, I told them to simply do it, regardless of the topic. In other words, I wanted to avoid them being called biased. They do not edit out of bias, then edit out of strict instruction with no room for gray areas.
I should have caught it myself, but I didn't.
The reason for the edits have been discussed in several other threads. Do not take this as an oppertunity to take a shot at the MP's or myself. It is strictly being offered as information.
