This thread is locked.
Over 20 posts were deleted. Many contained belittling comments about members. What is left of the thread gives a flavor of where it was heading. It got worse.
That was what caused me to delete and lock the thread. I'm not taking the time to review posts and decide what stays and what goes. Some actually did not deserve deletion, but were collateral damage. (Members can request the text from their deleted thread by PM if they wish to reclaim their work.)
This applies to posts outside of the DZ.
In the future I will delete any posts which contain what I consider unnecessary belittling comments about members or those that include inappropriate language. Questioning facts and supplying supporting data is very different from a member belittling other people and intentionally taking threads far off track.
Is it fair? Probably not. I'm just trying to control this sh*t with the tools I have.
