Well to take my own advice, (something that often gets me into BIG trouble!) I went to make a post that directly addressed the thread starter's post, which to save you clicking back a page was:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by Punki:
Why was
this thread, and only
this thread moved?
I realize that it exposed a rather unattractive side of several moderators, but I personally would like to see the thread stand and have those moderators who participated in the slander and gossip be held accountable for their actions.
Having witnessed, both first and second-hand some of the questionable activity that goes on behind closed doors on TalkBoard, and now seeing it second-hand on TalkTeam, my preference would be to eliminate private boards. There is nothing that needs to be said by either TalkBoard or TalkTeam members that can't be said in public and it would appear that the illusion of secrecy just brings out the worst in some folks.

Now I am smiling here to realise this thread is now 2 pages long, and it appears not one person has actually clicked on the embedded links Punki was referencing. (???)
Both those hot links take ME to:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...ML/000337.html
Which, without wishing to appear to speak for
Punki (she does a very good job on her own doing that!) does not LOOK like a thread she'd be concerned about being closed down? Enough to start a thread on, anyway?
And I do not see any of the few posts there that would have me calling for
"those moderators who participated in the slander and gossip be held accountable for their actions."
And it did not for me:
"expose a rather unattractive side of several moderators" (Poor moderator
flipside will be grievously offended if you are referring to him/her IMO!(
So
Punki ... I can only guess the thread you did reference originally now has had its original URL allocated to :
"Florida Keys" ( ?????????? )
OR ... that you mis-posted the thread URL in your initial post?
What was the thread you WERE drawing to this board's attention?
