Near as I tell, there were no rules broken in it, at least the last time I looked.
Don't know where it went either, really doesn't concern me and I prolly shouldn't care enough to post this but I'm a'gonna do it anyway.

As a mod on another site that has a real tendency to get rude and over the line all the time, I have to be up on the rules. Not just the blatent, in your face violations but the smooth as silk, it was way too nice to delete type of thread. (yeah right!)

Dread I read the thread in question and if what I am about to say angers or upsets you. Too bad. Get over it.

That was a loaded thread, written to draw supporting comments, intentionaly lead the course of discussion away from the topic and in such a way as to be a cheap shot at the admin. On the board I work, I would have given you a "time out" after I deleted the thread.

Want a real world example? It is called passive agression and it works like this: Stopped and given a ticket for exceeding the posted speed recomendation you spend the rest of the day driving at 15 mph. When stopped for obstructing the flow of traffic you, in wide eyed innocence, reply "I was only doing what officer soandso told me to do and he would never tell me to do anything wrong". Did you break the speed law the second time? No. Would you get a ticket? Yep, especially if I was the cop.

Now if you want to and talk kilts and kilt related subjects great, if you want to continue to skirt or ignore the rules you will continue to have posts removed and threads deleted. Such is the freedom of the internet. Freedom my big ol'butt. This is Hank's board and will operate the way he wants. If you have a problem with that then I would suggest you talk to Hank directly and leave off the cheap shots.
