Reply #90: Yes I See Those "Deleted Messages" So I Can Only Assume... [View All]

... that the mods agreed that they were personal attacks of some sort. I didn't read any of them, so I can offer no opinion on the actual content. I think that those types of messages are not appropriate.

It does stand to reason that responses of this type--regardless if they fall outside the rules--don't occur within a vacuum for absolutely no reason at all. They are a symptom that something else has gone before which set or created the tone.

And based on my recollection the past few days I think that it what we're seeing now is a collective and unanimous and loud "told-you-so" directed toward the purveyors of the lies, the rumor-mongers, the hand-wringers, and the nay-sayers.

Punitive personal attacks are in poor form... but the fact that so many people took issue with (and were vocal about) another member's position was not necessarily a bad thing. The rule-breaking was.

Maybe we've found some common ground. I don't know.
