Having had to monitor message boards, myself, I'm familiar with discussions getting out of hand. Usually, I found that contacting the offending parties directly and modifying or deleting their post (if absolutely necessary) would do the trick. It's not as simple as deleting an entire thread, but it doesn't appear so arbitrary. Just my take... and I appreciate yours. Andy Sorry I missed it (just kidding)…

Being an experienced Cake Central person, I tend to think that sometime last night, after you went to bed, people started name-slinging at each other and the thread degenerated into hysterical hissy fits. Possibly the one avidly hateful poster from the other blog got in there, even; it's happened before. And the discussion is no more at that point. You never get it back on track. I wish they would just lock a thread with a final post explaining why it was locked instead of deleting, but I guess that's too much work for so few mods. Honestly?
