i thought the webmaster would have given us an answer, such as post removed due to a complaint received
I'm not sure what happened to the thread because I've been away for a week. I will try to find out. I have recovered the thread from the last backup, but it may have some posts missing. I am not the only one with administer access to the site, so I need to investigate.
Apparantly the owner spoke to my collegue who then went ahead and removed the threads. I agree that the owner had a point in that it appeared that he was being blamed for things that could not be directly attributed to his pub and some of the threads were not about his pub. So, as you will see, I have renamed the title of the threads which I think is a fair compromise.
