why was my thread deleted

You still won't answer the question as to why it's off topic and keep trying to make it into something personal, something wrong with me. This could have easily been answered in your first reply.

I get it, the decisions to delete threads is arbitrary but you can't admit it, there are no explainable rules, therefore there are no rules. The refusal to answer one very simple question and make it about me personally, makes it perfectly clear.

What I am doing is not emotional, it is providing a service to those, including myself, frustrated by having their work deleted without explanation or understandable reason and asking for a clarification of the "guidelines" at the top of the forum so we won't make the same mistake again.

I fix things, that's what I do, this needs fixing, it's that simple. Yes, I can live with it and you're right, it's not that important, I just want to know what the deal is before I post tech threads. I now know, thanks!

 

what a boring thread .....
it's perhaps better now to close the poor thing ...
and go back into the garage to work on our cars .....

 

but interesting enough to make you reply

don't sweat it, I ask myself daily about the value of any social media and why I participate.

 

Understood, perfectly, just needed to get this out of the way.

Thank You

 

It's been years since I posted this but if any thread ever deserved it, this is it! HRP
