But I am asking the mods, that when a group of ppl attack you in a thread, no matter how subtle this attack may be, you should at least have the right to defend yourself. Deleting both my replies to the 12 plus rec post in question, which is about myself in particular, doesn't accomplish much. One of these replies was proof that most, if not all, of my posts in the chess forum were/are chess related, there was no reason for such a deletion unless someone has a political score to settle. . . I am posting this here, because I do not see a forum where this can be posted.
