Thanks for your explanations, while I do agree with the reasons for deleting the thread now that they have been said, two last comments I wish to make;

1, maybe instead of deleting threads E-I could post their objection on the subject, simply comment that if the thread continues in the same manner it will be deleted this would allow the opportunity to voice opinions to said subject and for ppl to discuss the matter further which may in turn change peoples views/opinions on the subject of the thread

2, if a thread is to be deleted, why not leave the thread but deleted the posts and give reason for deletion for example "E-I believes this thread is not suitable for discussion here" or whatever comment E-I wishes to make, then close the thread, at least we would know what happened which would save questions being raised as to where the thread went.

Thanks for discussing the subject of missing thread it was very informative and I respect all views/comments expressed
