[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2578629, member: 103303"] I know we are all looking forward to putting this one behind us. It is unfortunate when posts and threads disappear. While I don't agree with censorship, in this case I think [USER=1]@Len Backus[/USER] acted admirably given the difficult situation. Moderation is often a thankless task. I have been frequenting discussion forums since they were called 'news groups' (last century), and have to some extent 'seen it all'. When contributors get emotional, things can get ugly, and without a referee tensions can really escalate. I can't be bothered to dig up he deleted thread referenced by the OP, but from my recollection, some veiled threats were made, and it really wasn't a good look for the forum. Thank you Len for your tireless efforts holding every member here to a standard of civility. We can't always choose our circumstances, but how we respond is up to the individual. For me the takeaway here is; [B]Keep it classy[/B] I hope I'm not the only one who sees it that way! [/QUOTE]
