I have re-read all the posts above. Perhaps you should also. Nobody has "condemned the deletion" as far as I can see.
Dress it how you like, it reads as it reads. Simon has never been anything other than ultra fair in all aspects of this forum. Your post comes across as disrespectful.
Well, I apologize if that is the case, but please point out the "respect" in the following paragraph:
"I also find it frustrating that the people who jump into the debate, to condemn the deletion of this thread, are new/seldom use members. Whilst your opinion is welcome, perhaps it would be nice if you got involved in more positive threads on a regular basis, rather than fanning the flames on one that clearly goes against the terms of use of this site."
