This is a very telling statement- Thanks for posting.
I have been watching this unfold over the past week and have kept silent because I am fairly new to the forum and am still trying to figure out the personalities involved. That being said, it has been difficult for me to understand why the posts in the serial # thread (which seemed fairly benign compared with other exchanges found throughout this forum) were continually deleted.
There is only one other forum which I check and contribute to frequently. Although there is a "Big Cheese" who owns and moderates that Forum, he has always taken the position that the Forum is really owned by the regular contributors who drive the content. Therefore, a thread or post will only be deleted if several of the regular contributors agree that it should be- this is usually done within the thread in question. The exception to this rule is that self-promotion type posts are deleted summarily.
