I truly hope you don't. Deletion and major editing of threads on the "other" BB drives me crazy. Any BB which does that loses my interest rapidly.

IMO the only threads which should be considered for deletion or major alteration are those which become abusive, and thus far none of the posts I've read on this BB have been in any way abusive, including this one. You explained the "why this BB exists" in a most even-handed way, and in no way have been disrespectful to anyone. Non-plussed yes - disrespectful no, and I for one thank you for your candor. Part of me would like to hear Doug's side of the issue, but mostly I don't as then I might be tempted to take sides/form an opinion, and I'd really rather not be touched by the drama.

But please reconsider the policy of how/when threads are modified or deleted. Let the politicized media attempt to re-write history, and allow the "real people" the ability to express themselves without being censored.
