What a moderator did, and has now admitted to, was delete a post that contained no insults and no negative comments purely on the basis of how the other poster could have responed. That's akin to calling a foul on a player because he stood near an opponent and the opposing player could take that the wrong way. That's BS, and that's an offense to free speech.
What should have been done was to leave my post alone and delete any inappropriate response made by the other poster. If the other poster can't handle having his writing mistakes pointed out and corrected on a public forum, then he should either improve his writing skills or stop posting. If he is okay with his current writing ability and can handle it when others do what I did, then there is no problem for the mods to fret over.
From now on I fully expect the mods to delete every post that Chuck, Juulie or anyone else makes that is a spelling or grammar correction. To do otherwise would be to admit that I am being singled out and that what was done was wrong.

My daughter, who has a 3.6 grade average at a her university , just received a very negative rejection letter from the business school(top five in the country) which included three typos. She's not happy with good reason.
On an official's forum, you can't expect the Queen's English on every post.
That said, I just had a dust up with BlindZebra which I'm going to apologize for in a PM.
