Deleted thread

[comment]

A thread I participated in has disappeared completely, apparently as a result of moderator action. I appreciate the moderators here volunteer more than the rest of us and I am reluctant to criticize, but this seems a bit too drastic. Surely deleting the redundant offensive posts at the thread's trail would have been sufficient, and keeping the question along with the pertinent answers beneficial? I am not even sure the OP had an opportunity to read those answers.

I did that an hour ago,

BTW, it was done by a Moderator that doesn't normally do this, and probably thought that that was what they were doing.

Thank you both.
