That is what is so bad about edited and deleted posts and threads...not only do moderators have a difficult time balancing when and/or if something needs to be edited (editing or deleting a post, for example, simply because a moderator thinks it is "dumb" probably goes too far), but they also are not consistent in how things are moderated similarly to how charina recognized my post as a personal attack and not pat's (kind of like being disagreeable and not just disagreeing). Like was mentioned, I attacked Tubedude no more than he attacked me...
...I believe that if you were to go back and look at the most viewed threads on this site, you would find that most revolve around disagreements. And, I would also bet that more learning takes place because of some of those disagreements than in any other types of threads (I, for example, learned quite a bit about WD-40 and fishing in a recent debate where Gemcityslayer personally attacked those who use the substance as bait). But, that is my subjective opinion....
