Invited to contribute by GN then stopped in one's tracks?

Perhaps the OP asked HQ to delete it because it revealed too much about the family?

How very very bizarre- just gone- never seen that before either?

I'm disappointed that I was encouraged to contribute to a topic, invested time in it only for it to be wiped away by the very team who asked me to offer my ideas. There was nothing at all unkind in what anyone said, infact it was all sound discussion.

What G&T said. It is very rare!

Yes its disappeared. Most odd.

IN some circumstances GNHQ will terminate a thread at the request of the OP, but it is rare.

Yes kitty - the interesting thread about parents wanting to go on holiday without their child and assuming the GP would look after her. The OP asked for contributions to cease.
I can't seem to find it at all now.

As far as I'm aware, once a thread has been started, the op has no control over it at all.

Can you explain a bit more?

Last week I broke up from school and have therefore been spending more time than usual on GN for fun conversations, relaxation and good advice. Perhaps, however, I am not totally familiar with its workings.
What I would like to know is ... if I get an email alert from the GN team about a topic "we are dicussing today" and to which I would like to add further contributions, what is the etiquette if the OP suddenly wants to terminate the discussion before the day is out? I'm not trying to be difficult here, I just feel valid posts could become stifled and not allowed to run their course just because the OP has had enough.
