I don't know what post to which Marty is referring (because it was deleted) but, as Marty noted:
The response from a member should not have been deleted, nor the thread closed.
This has to stop.
His response, which I read before it was deleted, did not involve any system related problem, but rather it detailed the actual editing of a members post.
There was no valid reason to delete it or to close the thread.
If that is the case, as Marty says, why not just reinstate the deleted post? And certainly it deserves a proper mature response.All of us here have a very high level of respect for Marty and he deserves a direct explanation as to what you are doing in this case. And while I am sure everyone appreciates your offer to talk on the phone, I suspect for many of us (certainly me) a phone call is not always convenient and discussing things here on the forum should work fine and make sure everything is out in the open as befitting this group. --Bob

The post which was deleted did not even involve Marty. The post which was deleted not only contained information that was not true, it added fuel to a fire that shouldn't have been burning in the first place.
Frankly, the creation and continuation of this thread is exactly the negativity and unhelpfulness I am talking about. None of it is in anyway related to helping one another with our ZR-1s and none of it is helping to improve the content of this Forum.
If a new person was to join our Forum in the past week or so, the majority of what they would see up top is negativity from about 5 Members when we have over 500. That's not a fair representation of our community or a good look.
I'll say it again, if any one person has enough time on their hands to complain and be overtly negative in an open forum, then that person has enough time to help us with the Forum in a positive manner. It's a choice, plain and simple.
In regards to phone calls, it takes far longer to go back and forth in a text based forum, chat, etc than it does to have a phone conversation. If someone has the time to chat back and forth, then they
should have the time for a phone conversation.
Additionally, I admitted to my technical mistake this past week which temporarily "broke" some of the Forum's functionality for all users and Registry Members. No one was singled out and it was absolutely not intentional, it was a technical error I made when working in the back end. In the end however, we were able to improve some of the technical functions of the Forum for Registry Members. More tangible improvements are to come.
