AIBU thread got full, you deleted the follow up as a TAAT. Why?
KatherineMumsnet · 14/12/2016 18:56
Hi there,
We removed this as we felt it was quite goady. It was directed towards a particular poster (which we don't really feel is in the spirit) in a way that we felt was inflammatory and not really conducive to discussion.

Hi again folks. Yes, we agree it wasn't a TAAT in the 'traditional' sense. Perhaps we should have made that clear in the deletion message. If the original post had simply said that it was a continuation of the previous thread, we'd have had no concerns. But it felt a little bit combative to summon a poster from the previous thread in an OP and ask for a response. It seemed as though the new thread was all about that particular disagreement on the previous one and not simply a continuation of the discussion, if you see what we mean? And we had a few reports from other posters who felt it was inflammatory.
We're very happy for there to be a second thread now that first one is full, so do feel free to start another, but we would ask that it's started as a simple continuation of the original, rather than anything else.

Hi again folks. We aren't going to reinstate that thread at this stage we're afraid. Apart from all the other reasons, it was becoming pretty aggressive in places and generating lots of reports, so might well have been heading for deletion in any case, and we do think the discussion can be continued in a less fraught manner.
As mentioned, we're absolutely happy for a new #2 thread to be started again though. And yes, in answer to your question conserveisposhforjam, we could then go in and edit the old thread to take posters to the new one.
We'll keep an eye on this thread this evening so we can pop in and do that asap if anyone would like to start a new thread.

Thanks BOW. We'll get onto that now and update the link.

Sorry for delay. We've sorted the link on the old thread now so everyone reading there should be able to find the new one.
