      Now, with that said... No mention of privacy was made in UT's initial post on this thread. What he said was,       So all of you sounding off about privacy must have skipped the beginning of this thread. That is a huge difference. Plus, the situation mentioned here wasn't being discussed in Syc's thread. So, using this as a reason for deleting that makes no sense. I say that because I think that everyone that's coming down on Syc for his response is really not paying attention. He made a moral decision for a solid reason. If you can't understand that, well maybe you don't understand his morals in regard to censorship. That actually scares me.
As always, you have a wonderful way with words.

As someone who knows Sycamore better than anyone on this board, you are right when you mentioned his morals/opinions about censorship, which is why (I would imagine) people were attracted to The Cellar in the first place. However, people have the right to change their minds about things (and that was basically for those who are not liking the changes). As far as I'm concerned, this is not that big of a deal. If one cannot be respectful of another's opinions, and feels the need to lash out, namecall, and just be downright offensive, then, IMO, they have offline issues to deal with (unless they are just being difficult for the sake of being difficult).

So anyway, that's my take on the matter.
