...........and, therein lies the fundamental problem.

That moderator cannot understand and follow the rules of the forum and has his own set of beliefs whereby he determines what is acceptable and what is not.

Those beliefs are way beyond the generally accepted protocol of OD and he will ensure that OD is censured to his own personal satisfaction if you allow it.

We had ongoing issues with him and he never could grasp the fact that he was far too conservative to be meandering over here.



Furthermore, IMHO, NO thread should be deleted unless it advocates illegal behavior. If it becomes objectionable and should not continue on the path that it has taken, it is locked. All members then see the lock and realize that a certain boundary has been crossed. Deleting threads is very rarely a good idea. It leaves the membership with that queasy feeling that something is missing due to Big Brother watching..........but nobody quite knows what or why.
