Terry is correct, I have not been told to delete or change anything by any board member. I take full responsibility for my actions. It is my job to try to keep things under control, not take sides, and the best way I can think of to stay neutral is to remove a complete thread. It is my hope that everybody will figure out that they need to agree to disagree.

I saw no &amp;quot;personal&amp;quot; attacks (short of someone being called chicken) in the deleted thread. But if someone wants to complain about personal attacks, they need to be prepared for the entire thread to be deleted. Oliver66&#039;s post only disussed Sherry&#039;s past performance with the magazine. She was paid to produce a magazine, so that makes it proffesional - not personal. I know that something like the magazine rapidly becomes a labor of love, and so the lines between personal and professional can get blurred. But even Sherry agreed with Oliver66 that the magazine got behind schedule in the past. She did disagree, on how far behind it was, but none the less, agreed.
 As to calling Bob Tallman her &amp;quot;gaurdian angel&amp;quot;, I thought it was not derogatory. I don&#039;t think anyone can deny the impact that Bob Tallman had on this club. His opinion carried ALOT of weight. I also think it is very safe to say that Bob and Sherry were very good friends. Did Bob look out for Sherry when she needed help? Yes I believe so. The term &amp;quot;Gaurdian Angel&amp;quot; when it was originally used may have been factious, but honestly, I can&#039;t think of a better compliment to a friend that always had your best interests at heart.

What I did see was a threat. While I hope it was mostly in jest, I will not tolerate such behavior on this forum. That&#039;s the main reason the thread was removed. I am going to move it back to where everybody can see it, but it will be locked. 

Interestingly enough, 2 of the people posting in that thread are not even current members of this organization. After the new forum software is installed, the HPOCA forum will be for HPOCA members only. This is going to be more work for me, but so be it.
