Yes I expect this thread will be deleted with some vague and bland explanation. Very disappointed in Gransnet HQ today.

I missed all this. I posted on the original thread and when I looked again it was gone. I didn’t see the other thread that you started and I suppose this one will go too. It kind of proves what the original OP said. Ridiculous really. Nothing I read warranted deletion.

Why lemsip? Genuine question.

We are not allowed threads about threads.

Not to me and many others it isn't. It is giving an, I am sure inaccurate, impression that no one is allowed to question or express concern about a style of posting that many find intimidating, upsetting and off putting. And if they do, their posts and threads will be reported and zapped.
Surely it is in Gransnets interest to correct this unfortunate impression?

It is very simple to understand, in fact.

Really riled about this. A poster started a thread earlier today about bossy pisters trying to control threads. A lot of other posters agreed and said they too had often been made to feel uncomfortable, belittled or jeered at by a minority of posters.

A couple of posters then came on accusing the OP of stirring it and saying people should Name names. Other pisters quite rightly pointed out that this was inappropriate and against rules. The thread was then abruptly zapped as 'not being in the spirit...'

Concerned, I started a thread wondering about the zapping and requesting an explanation. Again a majority of posters agreedand also asjed for an explanation. Again, a couple of posters came on saying they didn't like the original thread, and also objected to my thread.

Once again HQ zapped the thread with no proper explanation. What is going on here!
