Who deleted the thread on the Allison plant closing?

For what it is worth, if any deletions of the whole thread, or portions is me. Sometimes another comes and does things, if I know I am not around for a bit, potentially out of cell range or not.
From what I have noticed tho, is the sub is more inclined to delete etc than I am.
Generally speaking, there is not a lot that shakes me per say. As everyone has an opinion on something, be it good or bad depending upon ones view!
For that matter, when I do close, it has gotten to a name calling situation or equal. Some I let go too long, others I get probably a bit too quick! As most of us are human, we do make mistakes both ways.
Usually it is best if one can have a reasonble discussion, discourse on a topic....at times, it will not happen. So things go away, get locked.......
It also depends upon where I am when I might see something, if I delete a post, vs lock, vs the whole thing. Most of the time I see this on a phone. Doing mod duties on a phone is harder than my laptop.
Some mods would probably have locked the Tesla thread. But even tho it does have some political issues. it has not been completely out of what is ok vs no ok.
At the end of the day tho, no matter who does or does not moderate a forum of any sort.....no one will be completely happy about how it goes!

Marty, for me, I think you are pretty fair and even-handed in allowing debate even when it sometimes ventures into the absurd. There is at least one moderator on this site who deletes any post that disagrees with his/her position on any subject and sometimes it seems for no reason at all, so we have both extremes depending on the forum. I know at least 4 forum members who left this site due to this particular moderator. I say all of this to say thanks for the thankless work that you do here.
