Not exactly. We rarely remove threads, but we do delete individual posts in threads when they are especially contentious, disruptive, or violate community rules. When that happens repeatedly in a thread, or a thread is clearly circling the drain, we close it.
And we closed the other EV thread because of such actions, and yes suggested we keep the whole lovely topic contained to this one, because everyone here is clearly enjoying this discussion...
As you are all aware, this thread has its own history of issues, and if you care to scroll back you'll find several warnings to keep things friendly. The tone of late has far improved, which is very helpful, so we hope that continues.
