Thread Deleted

[Avid]

With apologies to babyseal, I deleted a thread here in the General Information forum. I did not find babyseal's post offensive, but did find some of the answers were. Rather than have to deal with regular policing of this thread, we deleted it.
Again, my apologies to the original poster. I would suggest trying a more receptive venue to find others with similar interests, like an AOL forum or internet newsgroups.
I struggled with this, because it should have been a simple inquiry requesting private responses.
Unfortunately, I could see where this was headed based on some of the responses, and I don't think that this thread was the place to make into a big freedom of speech issue. (in case anyone was wondering, it had nothing to do with criticizing digi)

the thread did not insult digi or anyone. it was not an offensive post. it violated the rules of the forum stated on the registration page that we all read when registering. everyone is entitled to free speech. deleting a different thread that violated a different aspect of the rules would be no different.
