When has this deleting threads come from? OP's of threads have always been allowed to have their threads locked at their requests but this deleting **** of the face of the earth is completely new etiquette brought in by this set of mods who want to protect their muckers and sweep stuff under the carpet. Threads never used to be deleted.
People don't need a message board hero protecting them with censorship. The transparency on this board is none existent. They're his comments, he posted them, he should stand by him and it's clear he's willing to. Let the world see him for what he is. It's his choice. Not one for you or me to make, So his comments are back up. The truth is fair, censorship is deception imo.
I know you're just wanting to keep peace and locking the thread would have been fine by me and I have no gripe with you mate. But all this deleting **** so people can escape being held accountable is a new Mod thing brought in by someone in this set of mods and it stinks.
Billy published those comments. They remain there for people to see. May everyone see him for what he is.
