OK - I'll put my hands up here - I felt that Buddyboy calling Jo a 'big mouth' and making other unpleasant attacks on her wasn't acceptable, so I asked Daniel to take a look.
No other reason.
Nothing at all to do with the subject being discussed - if you want to discuss Merit 75, neonicotinoids etc start another thread - I'm sure it won't be deleted unless people start bickering and making personal remarks.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
There wasn't any censorship involved here - the thread was deleted solely because it had degenerated into bickering. We haven't had to enforce the 'no bickering' policy for a while, I'm pleased to say, but we will continue to remove threads if we have another outbreak of negativity / personal attacks etc
As dovefromabove suggests, do please feel free to start another thread on this topic.
I didn't see Verdun's post before it was removed so this is just my take on criticism in general. I can see a difference between saying someone is stupid for saying whatever and saying whatever is a stupid point of view. The latter engenders debate rather than simply being (in my opinion) rude.
It's also preferable if you can say why it's a stupid point of view
