I strongly disagree with the removal of scaramouche's posts - even the somewhat trollish Big Bang posts that I had seen. It is fine to delete obscenities and spam, but one can lock a thread and suspend or ban a user and put a stop to further trolling. The posts from scaramouche that I saw may have been annoying, and he may have made further ones that crossed the line, but to remove all his posts smacks of a particularly noxious kind of revisionism. For that matter, I also object to the excision of roscoe's 9/11 content, unless it was copyrighted or for other technical reasons. He received a warning, and it's up to him to stay on topic. If we're going to censor his off-topic CT content, why not the discussions on JFK CTs in the same thread?

I know it's a pain it is to moderate these forums, and I appreciate the hard work and good intention of the mods, but these particular actions surprise and alarm me - to the point where I'm considering refraining from further participation on BAUT.
