Alex I feel you're over-reacting. For those that missed it, I deleted a thread about David Hicks (started by Alex) because it was far too political and there were already many inflammatory remarks that broke rules in the TOS (not just by Alex, but in general and by others).
Nothing nasty was said about forum members, and it was nothing against Alex himself, it was just way too off-topic even for general chat.
The thread wasn't going to be productive, it was going to be anti-US government slanging match, and that thread just wasn't needed. So it was deleted.
Alex I hope when you calm down you decide to come back and be your old eccentric self. As Tony said, there are other forums to discuss political views and have that type of slanging match.
If you decide not to come back, I wish you all the best. I look forward to more of your thought-provoking astronomical threads soon
