Wait...frustration?

What was done to the thread was not personal. It was a Mod's duty to clean up the thread and make it presentable for future discussion (for members and visitors alike), after sending an infraction to the most guilty member to stop his fanboy-ism and derailing the thread repeatedly.

[Let me clarify here that the said member replied back in words which cannot be posted in this thread, so he has been temporarily banned for one month for his behaviour (which was most definitely "I will keep going, fuck you all" attitude)]

Do you want all of that "exchange" stuff back in the thread? If yes, post in the positive and I can bring it all back in a jiffy.

Do you prefer no deletions from henceforth because in your view it's censorship?
Then okay, I can promise you this - no amount of derailment posts, arguments, bickerings, fights, heated "discussions" will henceforth be deleted from any thread.

Promising this from my side only, other Mods are free to do as they please on this matter. From now on, I will confine myself strictly to removing spammers and spam posts/threads ONLY.
