Ever heard the phrase "petty tyrant"?
Straw-man much?
You know, maybe it explains it all that apparently you didn't mean ANY disrespect there, and obviously think those types of comments are high compliments.
That pretty much describes a petty tyranny. Acting to prevent any assumed violation occurs even if there is no legitimate evidence that anything will actually happen.
Seriously, you folks think that thread moderation is tyranny. I just want to get straight. Not one but two of you used that word to describe the removal of a thread (not in any way about model cars, it should be noted). You agreed to terms-of-service. Seems simple enough, but apparently in the world where it's considered tyranny to have a TOS agreement you don't agree with 100% of the time, I guess I can see how you'd be stirred to your righteous cause. Fight the power!
If this is the biggest problem you have today, I hope you never have any actual important problems confront you in life.
