[This is another anonymously coauthored post]
Last there was a post entitled "Why is anybody surprised at ref problems." This post was posted by a user under a second account. Since this is banned by CD rules the account was deleted and eventually the thread was also removed.
Many people commented on the bravery of the poster prior to the thread disappearing. I am afraid that these people might take the removal of the thread the wrong way and believe that this indicates some attempt at suppressing dissent on CD. I'd be willing to bet good money that this isn't the case. It is logical to think that threads from banned members are removed regardless of their content.
It is a shame that this thread was removed as there was a great deal of professional and mature discussion which spawned from the topic which was raised. Thankfully this is the internet and so nothing can ever be truly deleted.
Here's the original thread.
Now, obviously we lost a few posts since the last cache, but I would love to hear a continuation of the excellent debate and general discussion which this topic spawned.
