Apparently a reply in another section of this forum somehow ran against the grain of GW's policy for deletion:

Can't understand it, either, but the Moderator's dictums shall be enforced and respected. You may also call my decision not to further post here "overreacting" but since not knowing exactly where to spot where an infraction was made ("1)", or "2)"?) any further posting would merely be a waste of time, possibly leading to even further deletions.

Thanks and appreciation, however, to the many wise and stimulating postings that proved not to be off topic nor meant to antagonize.
Re-read this post, Faibhar, and decide if it was your intention to offend or to make a sincere case against the deletion of your post. My response isn't based on personal choice. It goes with the 'tin star' I took when I agreed to be a Moderator.

I expect a little bit of a condescening attitude from Doms/Tops... hell, I even expect it as 'playing one's part'. I can't allow it when it drifts off topic. I thought the first part of your "Training for Doms" post was brilliant, but since I can't edit out what's offensive yet, I had to scrap it completely to avoid a pointless series of flames. I apologize for the removal of that first part-- I think you had the right idea and hit the nail on the head.

Interstingly, both you and VanillaSlave have decided to stop posting in response to this. I wil miss your posts. I will not, however, apologize for removing something that violates the Code of Conduct. I can't allow you, or Vanilla, or anyone to just flame these boards. I would do exactly the same thing again.

It seems there's a part of our set that enjoys it. I am not against putting an open place for flaming in the Community board, and letting anyone who cares to make nasty statements about their peers post there. The rest of the community will thereby not be affected by this topic drift, and only the folks who care to read that kind of malice need be bothered with it.

Anytime a post is brought to my attention with off topic, nasty remarks, I will be forced to delete it and make a polite warning. You have been given a great deal of leeway on your posts in the past, and I have often defended you as being 'charmingly condescending' in your attitude. It's a shame that one act of removal would drive you out.

Nevertheless, thank you for your posts to date, Faibhar.
