The thread that was pulled was nothing related to politics. It pointed out a post in the LR that was very viscous and had no other purpose than to insult a poster to the Womens who was posting on a political thread in the LR. This drew more viscous insults from others who visited the Womens solely for the person who was being attacked.

It devolved into name calling and had absolutely nothing to do with triathlon or being female.

I initiated the post that called out the insult in the LR. The post was pulled at my request because it served no purpose other than to smear, insult and cause a disruption to the ST community as a whole. It was a post that never should have been made in the first place and for that I apologized to the moderators.

Threads like this wouldn't have been tolerated in any forum on ST. Threads over in those forums have been pulled for less. This was not a reflection of any censorship on the Womens, only a reflection of what will be tolerated on the entire ST forums.
