There was absolutely nothing wrong with my posts in the Cadel thread. Who deleted them and why?

I think the explanation is that it was getting a bit personal. You were not the only one with deleted posts.

I do not mean it was you. But your posts might have caused some to do so, and the mod decided to clean it entirely.

Yet the mod has left other insulting posts before the ones deleted.

If his posts didn't break any rules, they shouldn't be removed just because someone else couldn't hold their tongue.

And I didn't said they should. I was just pointing out what could have been the reason for his posts to be deleted. :)

It looks like Berzin did. Which leads me to this:

Berzin, could you please relax a bit? You are coming across as a sp@z

Most posts reacting to RobbieCanuck's #696, and a following couple quality others, were getting way off-topic and personal...

Why close the 'Clining hypocrysis' thread Afrank? There was nothing wrong with it, seriously... Seems pathetic that anyone would feel offended by it.

Exposing the truth much? :confused:

Originally I closed it based on the fact that all its only purpose was as an insult to the clinic as a whole. There was nothing about it that had anything to do with doping or cycling of any kind.

Then I noticed the username of the OP, Hifor1min, obviously a formerly banned member. So banned him and deleted his post (which was that thread).

I don't think you can conclude that on the name alone. Hopefully you or another checked his IPs and info as well.

It could be a lurker as well.

Well, it can't have been mastersracer since that was clearly not the post of somebody doing serious academic research into internet forum mentalities and provoking reactions in order to further their studies.

Wait, you mean there's not a mod conspiracy and you have a completely rational reason for it?

I'm shocked, I tell 'ya, shocked.

Nope you were trolling.

To be fair, Benotti, if I wanted an assessment of whether something was funny or not it wouldn't be to you that I would come.
