I pulled the thread in question early this morning.
Ken Salisbury already touched on most of my reasons for removing the Dust Collection thread but I would like to add that SawMill Creek isn't the proper place for managers of companies to resolve their differences. The violations of our TOS in this thread particularly our rule of not attacking another Member of our Community placed the thread in jeopardy from the beginning, the topic is important to all of us and it is unfortunate that the intent was not to share information about dust collection.
Removing the thread instead of ending it is customary here, many disagree with this policy but we feel it doesn't serve our Community to leave these kinds of threads accessible, for the most part they set a bad example for others and would allow the violations to remain public possibly placing us a bad position legally.
You are certainly allowed and encouraged to debate any woodworking subject here at SMC but it needs to be done the proper way. I think everyone knows exactly what I mean and everyone knows when a thread turns South it will be removed. When this happens it isn't the Moderators or Administrators fault, it is one or more of our Members who causes this to happen so place the blame where it lies.
My first obligation is to protect our Community.
Let me remind everyone that this is why we are here.

The ability to view this kind of craftsmanship and communicate with people this talented is what makes The Creek a friendly place to visit.
