Try this thread:

.
That was an automated flood post. A “bot”. This was a Mod deleting cogent comments. Other than the ones that suggested he/she was drunk I saw nothing violating what this place stands for. You had to see it before the posts were restored. > 40% pulled cause he/she didn’t agree.
It looked a lot like that thread.
