Can we clarify something after the Cedar Falls thread deletion?

I really don't want to be argumentative or provocative but would genuinely like to understand how the forum is policed.

Why was the thread about the Cedar Falls breastfeeding debacle deleted - reason given: 'it became very personal' - but a thread titled, for example, AIBU to think that Stephen Fry is a shit? is allowed to stand? Because I would have thought that the latter is actually quite a personal comment as well.

I am genuinely confused about how you decide who it is OK to slag off and who it isn't. Confused

Morning all,

We removed that thread as it linked to a personal Facebook page and made the individual identifiable. It was also a pretty nasty thread that became very personal.

We do take a slightly different view about people in the media because they put themselves out there. Having said that, we still don't like folks to be personal and nasty about anyone, if you see posts that overstep the mark please do report and we will take a look.
