I recently posted a new thread containing a link to a newspaper article about impending rule making with respect to table saw safety features in consumer products that I found interesting and highly related to a frequent topic of discussion here. AFAIK my post contained nothing political, offensive, abusive, or outside the TOS. It was deleted without so much as a "by-the-by" or any indication of how or why it was deemed inappropriate. (though the article in question did mention that different groups of congresscritters disagreed on the issue, big surprise-- is that sufficient for the post to be deemed "political"?). As I recall the article was pretty straight news, not arguing for a position.

Is it SOP here not to tell offenders what they did wrong? or even that they have done something wrong? How is one to learn without feedback?
