That has all changed. Today, I have had a post heavily edited, completely changing the meaning and context of that post. Another forum member's posts in that same thread were deleted, further leaving my post "hanging out to dry", completely out of context. Really made me look like an ass hole, so I wound up deleting my post so that its altered meaning would not be taken out of context.
If the goal posts have been moved, we all need to know. If we are now all subject to the subjective whims of a new moderator, we all need to know. As far as I can see, none of this forum's rules were violated by either your thread or my exchange with that other member. I see nothing in either case that has not been posted here time and time again, for as long as this forum has existed. Yet the man behind the curtain is pulling harder on the levers than I have ever seen in my 15+ years on this forum. I feel we are owed an explanation.

I felt the same way about a thread I started a few weeks ago that was nothing but a tribute to our wounded soldiers by a former pres.. It just totally caught me by surprise when it was moved to PARF within a few minutes...then of course it degraded to dipsodom. I was told I should have known better by a long standing member here
.....but I still don't have a clue. In my case, it wasn't Zeke. The forum has changed...most of us don't care for the nasty side of PARF that spills over here....and the pendulum has swung too far with "a silent hand" and no real explanation imo. I've been told I should leave PPOT too for pointing it out
.
So get in line Joe and Jeff.. the exit is stage left.
It's was helluva good run though
