I also read that thread. The so-called "critical" response was not in response to the thread. It was exclusively a critical attack on the orginal poster. It made no mention of the thread's relevance or content. It contained nothing but negative comments regarding the author. As such, it violated the forum's policies.
If you don't remember this happening before, you haven't paid attention in the "two years" you've been reading.

On the contrary, the deleted post quoted a part of Mr. Willson's post and dealt extensively with that issue. (We may be discussing a different post but I only remember one response.) As I recall, it was at least indirectly relevant to the thread in question since it quoted part of the post. But that is beside the point. Who appointed Mr Willson as the board censor? And since the post was deleted, the two of us are left debating a phantom post. It should have been up to the readership to decide the exact relevance.
Finally, I don't ever remember Brad wiping out a whole thread and then reconstructing parts of it. That is what I said that I did not remember happening. The thread completely disappeared for about 20 minutes and then reappeared, minus the criticism. Brad has wiped out numerous personal attack posts but has limited himself to closing the thread or deleting the post in question. He does not reconstruct the thread and has never done this at around 2 AM on a Sunday morning.
Mr. Willson tried to slip one by us and I have called him on it. It should be up to Brad or other management to police the site, not Mr. Willson and that is the only point I was trying to make.
