Believe it or not, my post occurred just as it was written. I wrote it automatically, then realized I had used the "O" word, was going to delete it, but decided since my intent was not to be political, merely stating my alternative, it would not offend. Guess I was wrong.

I remember when the rules changed, they changed during a period when I was absent, I came back briefly, then was absent again for much longer, so my memory may be flawed, but that's how I remember it. I know I was not involved in whatever occurred to cause the rules change (although I may have misremembered that also).

Your reference isn't "offensive" nor did it offend. It could have served as a jumping point to engage people in a debate on the topic that could have devolved into a flame-war, as historical incidences have proven. That is baiting.Deleting the comment was a preventative measure.
