Thanks for the clarification Sim it's appreciated - I didn't know the thread had de-evolved into personal attacks and disliked the thought of threads just disappearing without a reason (people won't learn if they don't know why something happened).
When threads are deleted could a PM please be sent to posters in the thread notifying them of it's deletion (preferably with a reason).
I don't mind content being moderated or even deleted but I'd like to know why.
