That is a very good question Tim. I am certainly not aware of any other threads being removed, but it's one that could easily be answered by the facilitators.
Of course they may not be unhappy for people to move on.

Art,
you started a thread with something very interesting - others took it in a different direction - you don't have responsibility for what others say. I am quite a fan of yours and I am puzzled for you talk about not your finest moment as a Moodler.
You may have been glad to see it go - I would have been quite glad to see it finish in the usual way of staying there but with no more postings. But that's not the point - it was actually removed and nobody is saying why (other than that some people objected to it).
Now I have already said what I think about the thread (not flaming, dialogue taking place) but what puzzles me is HOW this thread was "not helpful to the moodle.org community at large. "
The point at issue is not the quality or value of the thread but its removal and the increasingly deafening silence on that (you can't all still be asleep or on the beach

That's good Richard. I have just started using SAKAI as a collaboration space for a committee I'm on but don't know much about it. It has a nice clean interface.
How do you think those up-front investment or institutional OSS packages work as compared with the organically grown ones like Moodle?

I think it might be appearing to your greyed out as you are admin. try logging out or logging in as student user and see what it looks like.
You have my full sympathy - you must be constantly walking a tight rope.
Noone would say (I hope) that telling students to go home at the end of the day infringes their freedom of speech - maybe the reverse. In Summerhill, students may have been able to choose what to learn and when but this is not possible for many students and teachers.
on CABWEB, we have time limited discussions on separate forums that are closed and archived at the end of a discussion (usually two weeks with a little flexibility). Archives are still available for reading.
