This one of the few occasions when GR DOES need to let us know why they have deleted such a thread. |

JoyLouise, you are getting me mixed up with AnnCardiff. It was not my thread, and this thread is not actually the same as the other thread and yes I am aware I have posted on it. |

No-one is forced to join in a thread. If you don't like a reply, you can always say ' that's your opinion, mine is different and I don't intend to discuss it anymore'. |

Sorry Ann. You're right, I got the Ann's mixed up. |

I agree that GR should state a reason |

But the opening post Junieclooney was RRd before things got a bit heated surely? And do you actually think they read through a thread before deleting it? I don't, I think they delete as soon as somebody reports it. |

I agree, Ann, although I would not be surprised if someone at Genes had been following the Thread. However, like you, I think someone has reported it as comments had begun to contravene In the following areas from more than one contributor. |

FGS, if a post is offensive, then by all means delete it and inform the poster as to why, don't delete the whole conversation without any explanation! If someone doesn't like what is being said, then don't join in, just leave it! We're not children who need protection against the horrible bully, I'm sure we are all perfectly capable of defending ourselves one way or another without hanging onto nurses apron strings! |

magpie, my suggestion is that GR may have felt that the content of a number of the posts reflected badly on the company that owns this website ... a possibility if not a probability ... |

Actually Joy, what was astounding with this thread was the speed at which the delete was activated, compared to other times when it has been left several days (and not just at weekend either.) |

So what we're saying here is that it is Genes itself who is the phantom RRer! If this is the case,then quite frankly they should come clean, and state their concerns. To skulk in the shadows to the point of people believing the culprit to be a fellow poster is both sneaky and cowardly! State what it is that bothers you, and then we can hopefully rectify it. |
