Motnot .. as I recall the Quiet Lion one was moved by Admin from one Forum to the other, so that probably explains the original one being deleted. Nearly all the most heated threads in the past if they were locked down are sti[l visible I agree with you, and are all there on search. Like you I have a formal newspaper/publishing background, with a freedom of the press culture, so I personally prefer less rather than more censorship. But neither of us owns FT.

Where does FT draw the line? The "Carol" one this week, with folks making fun of, inventing fake user IDs for, and openly doubting the report of an airline FF staffer known by many on FT, who died slowly of cancer is one that hardly needs to be accessed by anyone in future in my view. It earned no miles or points for anyone, and was just sick and VERY tasteless in the very extreme.
