One of the issues here is the moderators will not address those who "take" threads in a direction that will ensure deletion. The attitude seems to be they would rather just delete the whole thread regardless of the value it serves the OP. Case in point; the mere mention on a tire thread that many of us have gotten superior service from Maxxis ST tires brings out the crazy Maxxis haters (all 3 of them) which inevitably shuts down the entire thread when the OP may have benefitted from our experience. As for the post disparaging certain kinds of people based on their appearance who were severely stereotyped by the OP that could have been written differently and survived.
