Sorry Len, you'd need to refresh me on that one. I appreciate that I certainly don't read every thread or post, however in 6 years when I've been on here I honestly don't recall derailing ever being given by any mod ( including long before Bechet was a mod ) as a reason for locking down a thread or deleting a post.

I learned a long time ago that forums are not a free speech platform - it's like being in someone's house as a guest and you have to adhere to certain rules...or leave.
If you disagree with the home owner about his rules/or how they are enforced you can politely ask for clarification or maybe request the possibility of a change but to keep argue after a response has been provided is both impolite and borderline rude.
Hopefully one have many friends that own interesting homes where one feels more comfortable visiting. Or one can build a whole new home.
Having said that....
I wear my "Banned from B&B and TSN" badges with somewhat of pride though as I fundamentally disagree with how those forums are run and the fact that I don't belong there is, to me, proof that I'm doing the right thing
Yeah! I miss Pig Cat hugely.It's a different forum to the TSR of last year, pre-upgrade, where if anything too much was let go.
Norms and values change - sometimes organically but often imposed. Some faces stay, some come-and-go, others fade away. Some become moderators.
Accept it or sack it off. Rob's obviously made up his mind for the latter and he'll neither be the first nor the last.
Read the first paragraph by HM in the following link, where he is quoting Boab's instruction about "derailing":

I have now been severely moderated in my previous post (#72). While I'm slightly bemused by the moderators action for doing so, I fully respect his decision.
I would also like to add that if anyone else would like leave the forum, please PM Admin and ask them to remove your account privately and discreetly.
If you want to leave, then please leave quietly without all the martyrdom and histrionics.
and histrionics.
You maybe doing that, but it is getting boring. Time to move on , enjoy your shaves and share your experiences with othersJoined yes, lurked no. But I rather fail to see the relevance for either question here as I was discussing the several pages of recent events only.
Your welcomeAh thanks, learned a new word today (yes, I had to Google it)
OK, I've stayed out of this debate for the most part so I can read and understand what is going on.
Would it be fair to say that the general grievance is that posts are being removed without warning or explanation, and that receiving some notification of the removal and a reason why would go some way to placating the frustration?
I'm pretty sure that we can all agree that deliberately disruptive communication (or lack thereof) isn't helpful and is fuelling the problem as of late.
