What I don’t udnerstand, boo, is why ‘Martin’ had to delete the whole thread.
When the real Martin was about last year, he explained to me that as long as the first post of a thread wasn’t offensive, the thread could remain. He would just delete any threads whihc were offensive.
Well, I read Gerry’s opening thread and it was definitely not offensive. The guy obviously felt upset about losing his dog – not a feeling I share, as dogs don’t bother me – but it’s a feeling I respect. I know people can become very close to their pets, and feel heartbroken when the pet dies.
So why delete the whole thread?
Delete the offensive posts and that’s a mark of respect for Gerry’s loss.
Delete the whole thread and that’s a mark of disrespect for Gerry on something about which he obviously feels very deeply.
