Maybe you can get your membership fee refunded.
Thought it diminished the farther you get from Texas, though. Oh well, another theory of mine shot to hell....
You just can't use a thread to attack only one member, you have to be more inclusive and attack everyone.
I'm a member of two other boards and the mods on those boards are serious about maintaining civility. Stick to the issue(s) and no personal attacks or insults or name calling.
I think this is a great board and the mods allow a lot of freedom. If they feel the need to delete a thread then I presume they had valid reason to do so. If I had one suggestion is that they create a sticky about deleted threads where they can post a brief explanation as to why it disappeared. Don't allow replies, just make it a summary of threads deleted and the reason.
Removed? Last time I looked it was still there, attack rhetoric and all, so what's the point? Neither complete removal nor censoring all further comment are really legitimate without explanation of any kind. Makes no sense as it literally sidesteps any problems.
The mods do provide a reason and sometimes a warning before they lock a thread. Usually the reason is lack of civility. Here is one example.
Mods usually send PM when someone breaks forum rules, and give warnings prior to getting banned.
What a laugh!!!
