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!

A very heartfelt THANK YOU for taking the time to comment on this and explain your thinking.

When Threads are summarily closed with no explanation it is incredibly disrespectful to the vast majority of posters that are conducting a civil and thoughtful discussion.

I am one of those for Warning first, getting rid of repeat offenders next and only closing as a last resort.

I do appreciate the challenges you work under and a really well moderated site is a pleasure to participate in. And one thing that helps is consistency in moderating.

Thanks again for your explanation.
