Unfortunately the deleted threads or posts are done so because the person doing the posting has crossed the line of decency. What we have to realize is that this is Karen and Paul's board and they ultimately have the say of what is posted and what is not. And if they were deleted they were probably mean and hurtful to someone else or it had just gotten out of hand. I am not going to pass any judgements until I've walked in the shoes....I love Pet Talk, but, I don't think I would like being responsible for keeping everyone happy all the time...that has to be tiring!!
