Be courteous. As we read and respond to others, disagreements are
inevitable. Differing points of view are welcomed, and indeed the bbs would
be a dull place without them. All users are expected and required to express
their disagreements civilly. Refrain from name calling and behaviour
lectures. Personal attacks will not be tolerated and repeated offences could
get you banned from the bbs. ... Lively
discussion is what the board is all about, but that is no excuse for boorish
behaviour or bad manners. We are assumed to all be adults. If you don't like
a particular thread, stop reading it!

I was enjoying the Panama thread. There were no disagreements. Everyone was being courteous and helpful, that I could see. Everyone was being civil and sharing in good humored way. I don't recall any name calling or behaviour lectures. I never saw any personal attacks (other than Pedro). There was plenty of lively discussion and I was enjoying the heck out of it, as were apparently most of the participants. Everyone was behaving like an adult that I could see. Seems to me, if you don't like a particular thread, "don't read it" is very good advice. I don't see why it had to be deleted.

we're playing with Marty's marbles here.

That's right. So far as we know, Marty has not lost his marbles.

$100 says the M man did not delete it

us, belize, or maybe Panamanian?

Marty has not lost his marbles yet but the wackos on this board are certainly pushing him. Lay off, Joe. The gig is up...again.
