Okay, fine.  I think closing/deleting a thread is stopping a problem. 
Banning a user, or removing just their posts means  someone has made a
specific decision to silence one user and is closer to my personal
interpretation of censorship, if not the dictionary version.

But, for the record, I didn't delete the thread.  It was deleted by
Sean at the request of several community members.  The forum community
policing itself, if you will.  I only voted on the future disposition
like everyone else.

That said, we (Logitech) reserve the right to lock/delete a thread that
we feel isn't adding value to the discussion, generally because it has
become one where there are personal attacks being made.  This isn't
"big brother" preventing dissent;  This is a responsible forum
administration policy.  Posts critical of Logitech, or of our products,
etc. have never been locked or deleted.
