So someone makes a post you don’t like and then you delete it.

There is another option we’ve seen you use which is to move it to Area 51. It would seem the thread could have been easily moved there instead of just deleting it.

Hi John,

Area 51 is specifically for discussing 'rumors' of new gear, etc. No thread is ever deleted. It is simply moved into an area that only the moderators can view. It can be modified and restored to view if need be.

As the poster who brought gun control into that thread, I have no objection to him removing that aspect of it. I feel very strongly about the subject which is why I posted, perhaps somewhat naively as a UK citizen, but fully understand why it could be seen as turning into a heated political debate, which may not be appropriate on this refreshingly amicable forum.

I also have no idea what else was posted following my post, as it had disappeared by the time I looked again, but Greg presumably felt it was heading in an unacceptable direction.

Roger

Thank you very much Roger for your understanding. That topic is one of great debate both inside/outside the US and within the US itself. There are people who feel very strongly about both sides and I have seen far too many discussions on other parts of the internet that devolve into vitriol and we just don't want that to happen on any part of DVINFO. Chris has always striven to keep DVINFO as a "refreshingly amicable forum", as you stated.
