Was a thread deleted for being controversial, rather than libelous?"I’m not for one minute suggesting that Paul Barber, or anyone else at the club is controlling or censoring the forum, but as emotions run high certain threads have been deemed controversial /libellous by moderators and have been removed." TRUE one controversial thread was deleted. And TRUE Harty is not suggesting that NSC is being controlled by Barber. Hence his first sentence.
So which bit should he be apologising for fellow mods?
And "I’m not for one minute suggesting that Paul Barber, or anyone else at the club is controlling or censoring the forum, but as emotions run high certain threads have been deemed controversial /libellous by moderators and have been removed." reads to me like he is suggesting the club are censoring the forum.
EDIT - Reading the posts after yours, it seems mine is a repeat of others, but that wasn't intentional.
