It's been removed? I didn't think it was heated, or unfriendly, but if a moderator thought it was, why not just close it rather than erase the thread, which contained some informative links and discussion-?
I think it was spam(the guy who posted it had posted his websites that were not +reinforment training and he never responded to his Introduce yourself thread) so it was removed which takes away all the comments.

Threads that are started by a spammer are automatically removed from view when we run the spam cleaner. Sorry it was not meant to remove any of your messages.
I have changed my spam cleaner utility so that it only deletes the spammer's messages and not his threads. So any replied in the future to a spammer's thread will remain seen, but the original message by the spammer won't be.
