Happens a lot. Certain people know how to kill threads. We have a resident troll of tech threads that has been banned many times, and has recently returned. I look forward to many otherwise decent conversations being turned into useless dreck because of this.
I personally think it is deliberate. Funny thing about the Darrow threads is the guy self destructed at least two or three times. The censorship acted to PROTECT HIS mis-steps and punish all the people who engaged in good faith efforts.
Oh, and apologies. I did not realize I responded to a 2007 post.
Best regards,
