This is censorship and unacceptable. What happened to the protocol thread? Deleted? Moved? No one used bad language or got aggressive with anyone so whats the deal??! This community is not always hugs and butterflies and smiles. We have real concerns and have a right to discuss them.
we did not remove or delete the protocol thread.
to offer a bit more clarification regarding censorship, we think all should have the right to express themselves, and we support that. we have simple guidelines we ask that are kept and it seems they are over 99% of the time. to my knowledge we have removed one thread/comment (maybe 2) in the past 2 years after speaking to the OP. at times we do move them to another place, i.e., the "feedback" category when feedback is put in general or to "sales" when sales are put in general, etc.
we take pride in the fact our community can have discussions with varying points of view that remain pretty much on topic and have very little in the way of personal "attacks", even during strong disagreement. it's not common in most forums and we applaud you all for that.
so again we encourage and support the expression of thoughts and views.
