Now that's clever 'GG'
...........libelous and defamatory posts .........Tell me something TW & this is just a question not a direct attack on you. If yr statement above is why some posts get deleted (& it' fair enough especially if libelous) then why have a lot of mine & others for Eg been deleted for such terrible things like thread drifting or even the more heinous (God I hate those words I always have to look 'em up to stop the spelling police from getting over excited

) crime of posting too much? Would PPRUNE be sued beyond recognition for that?

, deleting posts like that are just a result of some mods personal power trip.
Look this is a commercial adventure right? By way of adds & all the crap that goes with it to support the site, what does an advertiser want most for his dollar? LOOKERS !!
Most threads tend to die off after a while anyway drifting or not, in fact once a lot of thread drifting is obvious the way I would see it is that the original subject has run it's course to some degree & humor/fun has taken over, a crime perhaps?
Anyway perhaps this thread ought to be locked b4 TID comes along, some of us have our knecks stuck out a long way from being honest here
