I agree that this place has become a madhouse, but you and I both know that no matter where we go there will always be trolls. Tis the unfortunate nature of the wild wild west..err I mean world wide web.
Perhaps the moderators have just had enough of it, and are removing posts with even the slightest inkling of trouble even if they are educational.
Sucks that a few trolls had to ruin it for everyone. Reminds me of kindergarten..there was always those couple of kids who wouldn't stop causing trouble and in turn everyone had to forfeit recess :(
