Was it because he posted material from another site? (In this case, I would have expected that that post be deleted and Dennis receive an email explaining the policy.) Closing the thread without explanation leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 I think I know what happened now. TDLFAN had posted an abrasive comment and some took offense to it. Most of that little sub-thread has been expunged.

But presumably it's not because Dennis was critical of Disney or that he quoted material from other boards.

I really appreciate that the thread was re-opened. The re-opening assures us that we can expresses our feelings about Disney policies freely -- as long as we do it within Community Standards and with respect to others. It's a great discussion. I have sympathy for both Dennis and for WDW as regards the policy changes. I look forward to more posters' comments. Thanks, Doobie and Mods!
