What rubs me the wrong way is that, I know this may not have been intentional, but it seems like the thread which was deleted probably contained posts which people were embarrassed at having posted. The posts which were taken down as a result all benefited one side of the debate which prompted the thread.
Today afternoon, the way that comments were made in the cheesecake thread was really bullying in my eyes. When someone disagrees, multiple people should not all be putting them down. In this particular case, it was a 5 v 1 internet argument where the team who had 5 people all were supporting each other. I think its very unfair for someone to support a person online simply because they know that person, as opposed to supporting a person's point of view. This happened today on many accounts, and that is what prompted the OP to post from an anon account, Chief Delphi was literally not a safe place for their comments anymore (and this is only reinforced by the fact that one of the 5 immediately tried to turn the new thread into a joke).
