I found what was written by Macca a little distasteful at times and just plain argumentative and wrong at others, and the abusive private mail I received from "SUE" (I still think that name "Sue" should have been "Steve” from Hobie Australia) was actually quite funny, BUT I would defend their rights to post "to the death" (with the possible exceptions of postings of obscene and/or paedophile content)
To delete a whole thread is JUST PLAIN WRONG – an abuse of the “power” entrusted to you as a moderator (moderator means moderation, not dictatorship) with overtones of NAZI logic. Always remember, “A little power corrupts, total power corrupts totally”. Just my two cents worth
