Uh, anyway....I'm pretty consistent in what I moderate. I have never run across a circumstance that required the removal of a thread. I have banned one obvious flaming off-topic troll who was spouting profanity like a sailor. And I've moved many threads to the offtopic forums.
But if someone asked to have a thread deleted that contained information about their property and made fun of it, out it would go.
While Pelican Parts would probably win a court case in which it were sued for libel or defamation of character in the forums, it would be detrimental to the business, and therefore the community. Ergo, as a "moderator" doing what is best for the community, that thread would be toast. I stand behind whoever killed it. It was the right thing to do, unfortunately. Sometimes censorship takes on the guise of CYA.
