I'm with you on this one Martin. The thread splitting is becoming really OTT. Also i'm having posts deleted for apparently being offensive!! The last one said 'Aw Bless' Does anyone else find that offensive?
I contribute to a post, then I cannot find the replies, then it I find it is split and I am not e-mailed replies ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Please just stop. Don't split threads..... Off topic is fine.... (now where WAS my off topic post.. not sure anymore,,,, has it been split)
Is the world going crazy???
I am finding it difficult to keep up ....

I think someone is jumping to conclusions!
Cruella's "Aw bless" wasn't in itself offensive, but it was part of a series of posts which were potentially offensive, irrelevant to the discussion, and not contributing anything of any value.
They were deleted to keep the thread tidy – the "owner" of which has subsequently complained about off-topic and irrelevant posts on his thread.

I understand that, so why was I sent a PM saying

The PMs are sent automatically to all authors – we don't get the chance to send a different message for each post deleted without doing a lot more work.
But thanks for the feedback – I, and hopefully other moderators, will try to make sure we're more careful in the wording of the message sent in the future.

So are you saying 'you know who' didn't complain about being offended?
In which case why should 'you' deem it offensive?
If someone posts something bad about me then it's surely up to me whether I'm offended. Not the moderators!
Unless of course 'you know who' did complain, in which case I'm not jumping to conclusions.
This whole thing is getting well out of hand due to one moderator bringing his personal life into his role of moderator.
I can't remember if anyone complained or not, but I was about to delete the posts in question when I found someone else had deleted them before me.
I would have deleted them simply as being off-topic nonsense – talking about the size of folks' "chipolatas" doesn't really having anything to do with a conceptual Utopia all-nighter, unless you think this will be the typical activity during the night?

By the way, I'm tempted to split this thread as the discussion that Cruella has brought up is clearly not on-topic, but I am concerned about generating an irony overload!
