I understand and appreciate your point, but sometimes closing a thread is done to allow things to "cool down" a bit. Removing an "offending" member from an already hot topic is often adding fuel to the fire. It's often best to close it down, wait a while, and then get back to it.
The "E.U." In Or Out" thread has been entirely deleted. That's a bit beyond "allow(ing) things to cool down a bit" and "wait(ing) a while and then get(ting) back to it".
The mods team is very honest - brutally honest and there is nothing sinister going on as which you may imply with your last sentence.
I know that at least parts of the mod team don't like political threads in a James Bond forum, particularly as they tend to stirr up emotions.
I partly agree on that and usually only post there when such threads are getting very one-sided or when I feel the need for someone to stand up and give a counterpart.
Needless to say, that I did not ask for removal of this particular thread.

A British saying is "never discuss politics, religion or football in polite society". If anyone cannot accept someone's else's point of view without resorting to personal abuse then best leave alone.
I have never belonged to another forum before AJB so I don't really know what to compare with but in my narrow view I think the mods here do a great job and I suspect other forums are a lot stricter.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

At least be honest.
The entire thread was 'moved', not deleted - but I can understand why you think that...
The 'Mod team' has decided to give politics a miss at AJB for the foreseeable future - I'd also extend that to religion too...although football (I think) should be okay
It seems you may have questions to ask, cheld...why don't you PM me with them and we can discuss them...? -{
