Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...

* =  If you hit the MM, 1% for the tip would be fine...... ;)

My guess as to why Admin removes a thread is as follows:

(a) they don't have much time to do this (unpaid? low paid?) difficult job.

(b) they base most of their decision on whether another member complains

(c) given the size and sensitivity of many members, it's not long until someone complains, no matter what severity there is in the thread.

That's what leads to deletion.

@2psyop nice one, btw. For a long time I thought I was hearing better through one of my ears than the other, but then as I got older, that switched. 

Also, as much as I railed against MC, he did make things interesting. Kind of like Eminem's line, "it feels so empty without me". 

@roadwhorerecords nice name. Also, this is the kind of comment that leads to thread deletion. I mean, rather than cancel, just make a fascist powergrab and pass legislation marginalizing targeted populations. 

... or you can just cry to a moderator. 

I don't think it's 'crying' to a moderator when a member insults, accuses, belittles and denigrates, or makes negative blanket statements against fellow members. It's against the rules, it detracts from the thread at hand, and the person or people it's directed at has/have every right to see it deleted. Many times there's a canyon of space between truth and opinion.
