Easy boy
i don't have any idea why the thread was pulled, but I rather expect it has nothing to do with kat's rejoinder to you. I don't think you were attacked at all by Kat. he insisted he respected your opinion and was just noting that he had a different sort of experience. If we can't have that level of disagreement then the whole board should be just shut down now.
As for the pulling of your thread, you should contact a mod for an explanation. Modicus said he was going to leave the review up, so it may be that Kristi herself has asked to be put on the "no review" list. which means no comments or reviews .... good or bad.
If that's the case, don't pack up and go home. Lots of people have had that happen to them and the reviews (even if posted for a short period) are still useful to people.
I thought your review was tactfully done. A good example of how to do a negative review. And I also thought Kat's disagreement was in the proper spirit. Kristi probably complained, and Modicus ruled in your favour. However, under the way fred zed runs the board, if a sp want to be completely off the board she can be. That's her choice. There's been lots of discussion about the no review list, but its not likely to change anytime soon.
I hope you stay on the board. Shit happens sometimes.
