Real life name is Robert Shackelford of San Jose, CA.
I hereby formally request that administrators and moderators of bikeforums.net discontinue the deletion of existing threads and posts that are both related to the recent Tommasini issue - and unrelated to the recent Tommasini issue.
While I can live with the closing or locking of threads in the so-called interests of "ending a cyclic seemingly unresolvable issue"...I take issue with deletions in that they carry with them the odor of censorship, overbearing administration, favoritism, and other applicable feelings or objectifiable labels that can be applied by myself and others.
Furthermore I must point out that some posts amount to technical, historical or assistive information materials and if those are getting deleted - then substantive and valuable information is getting lost to the Unix equivalent of /dev/null otherwise know as the black hole.
If deletions are actually occuring - as opposed to current and archived thread view blocking - once again please discontinue such actions.
Respectfully yours...
