I think people are reading way too much into this where intentions may be concerned and it's not really helping the situation any. Thread drift has has been a integral part of this forum (right or wrong) and it's often used to diffuse otherwise volatile or tedious topics, often with humor, which is not necessarily a bad thing is it? Either way, the law has been layed down, let's abide by it and get on with life.

Hey! No tars and feathers for ML!!! 
She's one of my favorite characters in this soap!!!
Really, if you pay attention to the number of viewers vs. the number of posters...that's what it is!!!
Anyway, what's done is done and there's no sense in making more headaches for the moderators or for ML!!!
We're in the saloon now...let's all 
guns don't watch your back...
our dogs have shown us the way out when we were lost...AND kept us warm...
for us its ALWAYS a two dog night!

You and I certainly dont agree on everything, but we're in full agreement here.
I applaud Tazz for having the intellectual honesty to leave my posts intact, but the manipulation of the original thread was still wrong and now one of my posts is initiating this new thread?

Clearly this is trolling and a thread drift violation. Where's the "Thread Drift Purge" button?

'Allo mates, no worries. I archive every single post on a memory stick, so I can enjoy the wonderful discussions here. It's fun to go back an re-read all the fascinating things people repeat ad naseum infinitum! The signal to noise ratio is, like, totally awesome!

By any rational assessment of the moderators on this forum, they are honest, fair people. And they volunteer their time to keep this forum running. I admit up front I don't care much for the gun talk but they have deemed it a legitimate topic for discussion and I'll respect their decision. To deliberately sabotage any gun thread because you don't like the subject matter is quite different than the usual thread drift. Any who participated know that. If you dislike a certain topic and the moderators don't consider it offensive or disruptive, just move on. Free speech works both ways.

, then they are deleted and I wonder "what happened?" 
Bring on more trip reports, I say 
JenJen's comment about "booze posts" is right on the mark, and I think it is completely in their right to delete them, as funny as they seem at the time (even when I'm a participant - sorry mods 
)
I am, however, a proponent of free speech and do take offense whenever a post or thread is deleted due to specific content, whether I'm interested in the subject or not.
