I can imagine two possible explnations:
1. There was a blocked poster posting in the thread using another name. I have no idea who might be currently blocked. In those cases, the policy was to delete the whole thread, if I remember correctly. Unfortunate collateral damage, I always thought, but Dr. Bob's take was that the others posts often made no sense if just the blocked poster's posts were deleted.
2. And I personally think this is more likely.....there was a technical glitch during the process of moving threads. I can imagine moving the healthcare one to Politics and others perhaps to Social, etc. It is a several-step process. If the software malfunctions, you get interrupted for long enough, or say your computer freezes up mid-process, bad things happen. Or, perhaps Racer (if she is still volunteering as a deputy) or even Dr. Bob made a mistake. It is possible to get distracted and click the wrong radio button and then you might inadvertently delete when you meant to move.
I have no idea. It is odd and not the usual steps for moving where we would see a redirection post from Admin. But these people are human and fallible and they might not realize what's happened or be trying to repair it now.
I also firmly subscribe to the principle of Ockham's Razor. It's saved me so many times from assumptions and succumbing to [more] complex conspiracy theories.
