RE: Missing threads?

Somebody started a thread about women on the forum or in audio, and I replied quite informatively. The thread is gone, and that's fine. Still, I would've liked to have read 4everyoung's reply.

And then there is the thread about the State Street Global Advisors statue placed near "Charging Bull" in celebration of International Women's Day, which is a COMPLETELY political topic. PART of the replies were deleted. That was not a "good call". Delete the whole damn thing, or keep it all, unless there was undue name-calling or profanity in a post, but to delete certain posts because they voiced real facts or opinions on the topic amounts to censorship. On the other hand, it's their forum and they can do whatever they want.

Still, it would be excellent to have a more moderated approach to keeping topics and posts in line, rather than summarily deleting them without any notice or rationale. But, hey, Rod M, FenderLover, The Bored, et al, are people, too. They make mistakes in decisions and approaches, just like the rest of us, and hopefully learn from those mistakes.
