I do question why any controversial posts are deleted, even if no one crosses the line. Take the Thread a couple weeks back about the finders keepers team ( experts and pros of Rochester). No one made any personal attacks, everyone kept it civil. Yet it was still deleted because an argument may upset someones delicate sensibilities. We are all adults here, capable of a good discussion.
My opinion- Let the members talk, debate, discuss unless someone crosses the line with personal attacks or the like. We do not need moderators looking over our shoulders monitoring every single thing and deleting anything that could cause some conflict.
