Where is "Pats" Quality Control Thread

Only wimps use quick change stuff anyway.

I think of it as working smarter, not harder. JC

That L2800 in your signature wouldn't be one of those "wimpy" non geared hydrostatic types, now would it? I have to agree with you though. real men just wrestle those implements on, especially those 400 pound box blades. But then again, real men don't even use a tractor, right? Just hitch up the mule.

I'm sure you'll find some where in the terms 'n conditions of membership, that theres a bunch of stuff not permitted in the forum. Rightly so too. But whoever DELETED the thread made a mistake IMO. There was good info there. To delete the whole lot because of a few religous posts was lazy way to make things right in his/her mind.
I'm a moderator on other forums and it is very easy to edit anyones posts whenever you have to. To go in and delete the offending bits takes only seconds of your time. I would only delete whole threads if there is offensive language, elevated levels of arguing, or absolutely no productive content in the thread... Unless I missed something? I only saw 3 posts with religous references, did things get a lot worse afterwards?
Who ever deleted the thread felt compelled to chose the "delete entire thread" button instead... Unless Pat asked them to?

Then all you conspiracy theorists can wax lyrical....

TBN dont want to loose Pats sponsorship? Fair enough... Did you see how many people stood up and defended pats product in the thread? Made me want to go out and buy one right there..... Pat came in too, stood up for his product and explained his reasons... Makes his an upstanding guy in my books.

The thread isn't deleted. I just went back and read the final comments to see why it was CLOSED, not DELETED.

I simply didn't understand why its closed.
Apparently the powers to be don't want to tell.
Its is still available in it entirety

If it were for religious means I would thing they could or should have removed what was 'offensive no, the thread remains in its entirety with no explanation why. Only for us to assume.
I find this use of power to be offensive.But it is ''their'' forum.
By not giving a reason or removing the language,We the members who make up the forum are left to wonder and assume.
Yet another

Well yes, I do have a HST transmixer. It takes a man to press that pedal back and forth all day.

It isn't hard to see why that thread was closed. When members resort to name calling, religion or politics then threads are closed. That thread had name calling and religion so its fate was sealed. And it is easier for the moderators to just lock the thread then to try and delete individual post and hope no one else carries on. Just lock the thread and the discussion is over till someone starts a new thread complaining about the other thread

Robert is 100% spot on.

With no dog in the fight, I was following the locked thread, but not involved. (I've been involved in ENOUGH locked threads on my own ) I have to say I was shocked it went as far as it did after the "holy war" broke out. The thread itself went about as far as it really needed to in explaining the facts of the situation. Beyond that, it was pure speculation, inuendo, and personal insults that brought it to an end. This ain't the "JERRY SPRINGER SHOW". Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Opinions take on a whole new meaning when they're based on conspiracy theories, and slanderous insults. At a certain point, a line in the sand was crossed.....and the padlock appeared. Not a real suprise. Strong likelyhood THIS thread will meet with the same end, as this is slowly becoming less to do with Pat's Quick Hitch and more about peoples alleged "constitutional right" to say whatever they want about whoever they want on a privately owned website.
