It was a great thread but like a lot of things here on Somersoft you waste your time providing comments only to have the thread deleted.
It happens quite rarely given the volume of traffic here on Somersoft.
In this case, it was unfortunate, but given the impact it was having on people outside of this forum - I think it was completely reasonable to remove the thread.
It's all well and good to discuss things amongst ourselves here on this site - but when that spills over to have a direct impact on people who are not members of the forum and did not choose to have their personal lives effectively discussed in public, then I think we step over a line and action needs to be taken.
Like I said - it was unfortunate given the interesting content being discussed - but when it comes to a decision between you losing a couple of posts on the internet versus protecting innocent parties directly affected by the discussion ... then I'm sorry, I choose them over the posts. Don't you think that's reasonable?
