It's not only your (non-offensive) post that's been deleted but all-bar a harmless post of praise.  Anything for a quiet life, presumably, with no dissenting opinions allowed,.Bad news indeed, for the forum.

Your post was deleted (as was all posts  there after) because George complained about a post by gav  iscon

The chronology is that Gav Iscon's highly insulting post was deleted quite quickly, leaving all other posts in place. Then hours/days later all the posts were deleted bar the first two. If this foum had rules which we could respect, then Gav Iscon would receive a final warning and if he ever used such language again, should be banned.

Let's consider two recent threads I responded to with interesting results in each case:

1. Littlechilie opened a new thread comprising no more than a full stop for the subject and another full stop for the topic. I queried this, only for LC to make out he's the victim. I wasn't obnoxious; I just queried it because I consider it odd behaviour to say the least.

2. Chewy Tikka posted images of a prawn curry he made. I questioned what justification there is for posting such images without a recipe,. After CT was very rude to me I wrote honestly when I said I find CT's recipes bland and uninspiring. What's obnoxious about having an opinion that differs from lavish praise?

This forum appears to have become a lot less active since I took time away. Very few people have quit for any reason so to say I drove away 'most people' suggests muddled thinking on your part, and is a gross exaggeration.,

Well seeing as lots of people seem to like his recipes, .

Hi Gav iscon
Recipes being the operative word here, A photo, a recipe does not make,
