Deleted Threads by Admin??

@cleeds 
Well put.

Faith by its very nature stands on its own

It reminds me of a question put to Joseph Campbell, when asked if he believed in a personal God.

Barney Fife Principle of "Nip it in the Bud."

Ahh, memories...
Hopefully, this doesn't get deleted, as well....

@cleeds the Audiogon sales thread is alive and well here. See this link:

@cleeds 

“That’s the challenge faced by this group’s moderators. They can’t babysit every single comment on every single thread, and so they have to make judgment calls.”

The moderators have help reviewing threads. They review those that thread readers report for review.  

@celander   What are you talking about?  I was the first one to respond to your thread about threads being deleted after I just had a thread I initiated deleted.  That must mean I'm trying to hijack your thread about that very topic?

@onhwy61 @nonoise  Fair enough.  I think the original thread did contain what could be considered "politically charged references."  It is very hard to discuss culture devoid without political references.  I believe my first post in this thread avoided that.    

@cleeds Thanks for your thoughtful response above.  Some contemporary philosophers see the shift to Post Modernism happening as appeals to the primacy of feelings over reason and facts are indicators of such.  

Imagine being able to beam someone from the 1960's to 2018.  I think he/she would pass out from culture shock!

So @celander  what should we talk about?🧐

@hifiman5 your first post seemed well put. Your second post seems to relate to what your now-deleted thread concerned.

It’s your choice whether to answer a poster’s question, like the one @cleeds asked you regarding following up with the administrators about their decision to delete your thread. I would have loved to hear that feedback, which is one example of something we can all learn from here.

I’m not concerned about what gets posted here, provided it doesn’t lead to a moderator taking an action to remove it. If one looks at several posts already made here, many are inviting moderators to review and remove them. Not only does this provide a disservice to those who take time to respond to a now-deleted post, but it also disrupts the flow of the discussion.
