I was About To Learn Something And Then POOF

A recent thread on tires was started by a generous poster who was passing on his knowledge of tires. I was reading his posts and actually learning about tires when POOF the whole thread was removed because of the actions of a handful of people.

It is very sad what this forum becomes sometimes. I am also not sure why the Moderator couldn't just let his informative posts remain while only removing the bickering. Things like this are what drives people away from this forum.
  • I was looking forward to more info from Tireman9. Guess I'll just have to find his blog.
  • I was looking forward to continued posts as well, but as usual... Not gonna happen now.

    From what I remember on one of them, he got jumped on pretty quick wanting to know what his credentials were and blah, blah, blah...

    It could have been that the OP requested the post be deleted?? Why try to offer some information from years of experience, but get dumped on within a few posts before you even get out of the blocks..

    If that's the case, I don't really blame him.. But, if it was just deleted because it was getting too "high school".. Well, I've removed posts I've made too because of that..

    Be nice people.. Maybe, just maybe, someone else might learn something from another's experience.. Not just YOURS.. ;)

  • It's easier to delete than it is to edit. Go figure. We get what we pay for.
  • Interesting. There were actually two threads. One was closed due to I assume it going off topic from people questioning the motives.

    The second thread had good information in it with no negatively charged posts. But I see that one is gone as well.
