I would say that on a written/graphical forum, it is easy for posts to be misconstrued. While posters may be 100% clear what they mean and know that it is not contentious, others, without the background knowledge, may interpret it differently and take offence or consider that it breaks forum rules. I would say that moderators should take down posts that are open to misinterpretation, even when they themselves know that it is not contentious ... at least pending clarification.

I know that I don't always get my own posts right, but I do try and add context that makes my meaning clearer. It is difficult to judge what knowledge others may have that may lead to others seeing something in a completely different light.

And poor old me hasn't got a scooby what this is all about 

exmouth posted something about his private life--and it appears some person (s) thought it was political and complained to the management.  The post was taken down.

But it wasnt me--backstabbing is not my style.

@Bigmac and anyone else of the same opinion.......no one at all 'complained to the management' and there was no 'backstabbing' so I would suggest you PM the object of your accusations and apologize
