Sabina,
For the record I agree with you. (Not sure how much of your note was directed toward me. It responded to my post but did not name me specifically). When people starting tossing around the term "fascist" (or equivalent), then things have pretty much departed from the realm of civil interaction.
I also agree that this is Dr. Bob's house where he is free to cultivate the atmosphere that he desires. My main concern about the deleted posts was that there seemed to be a bit of a conflict, in that the posts that were deleted (despite the nature of the post they were directed to) almost seemed to typify the atmosphere I thought he was trying to cultivate. Especially given the recent flap where people were PBC-ed and later blocked for responding negatively to a negative post.
However I can see where it would be a tough call either way, so it isn't really a big deal (I just thought it needed to be noted).
BTW, glad to "meet" you Sabina.
