I totally understand that certain threats are being closed by the moderators at some point. This happens in other forums as well. So we get:

Error
You can NOT post a reply.
This topic is closed.

Question: Why do you delete posts at the end of a thread while the topic is still open before it gets closed? This doesn't make sense. Besides, contributors invest time thinking the discussion continues and some days later find out their content is gone. I find this very irritating, even unfair.

Salam/Peace,

We deleted your post because it trigered a "heated" response, so we deleted yours and the response (the post after that).

Thanks for the explanation. I understand.
