Deleting this thread to "protect a poster's privacy"

In a nutshell; poster throws a strop and doesn't like the answers they are getting.

AIBU to think it's a massive cop out?

Hi folks. Just to clarify things a bit, we very rarely just delete an entire thread, and it's definitely nothing to do with whether someone 'throws a strop' or not.

We do consider each request carefully and if it seems clear that we could be opening a whole can of whoop-ass for a poster, potentially outing them, or worse - their children, in real life, we do consider carefully whether it would be unfair to leave it up.

We're not sure if this is a thread about a thread that was deleted this evening or not, but if so, we feel we should make clear that no strops were thrown. In fact, we contacted a poster ourselves to suggest a thread was deleted as there was a lot of identifying content on the thread and we felt we had a duty to point that out.

OP if you have any questions about a specific thread, do feel free to drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll be happy to explain our decisions in more detail for you.
