While most of us have said or written things that we later regretted, one of the nice things about this forum software is that it allows you to edit your posts, or even delete them (or entire threads that you started) if you later realize that they were inappropriate, unnecessary, or simply stupid.
While I have deleted others' posts or even threads in the past, it was always at their request or because it was a spam post. Today, however, I deleted a thread started by one of our members. It was, as these things go, an extremely minor "violation," if I can call it that, but it prompted me to think that some sort of explicit policy might be in order. Therefore:
Threads that are both inflammatory AND have nothing to do with ICSCC or racing will be deleted.
While I don't consider this to be censorship, I am leaving this thread open for discussion in case there are others who do, and for whom venting might make them feel better.
(One other item: The person whose thread I deleted shouldn't in any way feel "bad" about it.)
