Just so Sam doesn't have to deal with it, maybe I can partly answer to that...

1) Sam is running out of space for the message forum, so he can't keep every message.
2) If it sounded insulting and antagonistic to him, he probably didn't want other people to have to deal with it.
3) You don't often post, so Sam doesn't know you well enough to know whether or not you were trying to be antagonistic. As in, eric's original post sounded pretty antagonistic and insulting to ME, but eric's been around a while, so we give him the benefit of the doubt. Is it fair? No, probably not.... but that's the way it is.
4) Sam is Sam. You don't question him, he can make decisions. Freedom of choice, yes... but freedom of expression all the time, no. They're two different things.

Well, i hope that helped a little.... correct/delete me if I'm wrong, Sam... I won't have a problem with it.
