It would be interesting to hear from the moderator who deleted the thread, or Baron. Out of all the useless crap posted here on ET, why would your thread be deleted?
I honestly don't know. I'm not going to blame Baron. I'm pretty confident he can't possibly know what all the mods choose to do. There should be some objective criteria by which threads get deleted, though, and nothing - NOTHING - in my thread could have possibly been interpreted as offensive unless someone had a serious mental illness.
I once got my account deleted for no reason. Seriously. It was back when Timmay had friends here. Got my account deleted for no reason. No warnings, no nothing. I emailed admin to ask why and didn't even get a response.
