I noticed you had to remove the trail after I made the comment about the S4 pic. Please understand that, though often misunderstood and perhaps making "exaggerations to blow a point" [see the 540i trail and the misinterpretations spawned there] I do not wish to be an instigator on the board. Being that Audi is clearly putting the S4 in the market to be an M3 killer, I thought my comment was appropriate (or at least benign) for this board (set up for Audi customers and enthusiasts). However, the followups (where I thought none were really necessary) were unfortunate indeed. My apologies if I have unknowningly been an antagonist of the people for whom this board is intended and please contact me if there is ever anything you ever want or need to communicate.<p>Cheers. And thanks for your efforts to make this a useful forum.<p>Robbie<br>(1.8Tqms)<p><p><br>

I was laughing my a** off when I read it!<p>Oscar

One of the other editors is responsible this time. Apparently there was some profanity in the thread -- that is the reason for the deletion... We don't censor controversial issues, we only censor when a post (or thread) has broken the guidelines for use of the Forums.<p>Regards,<br>Jason<p>

I didn't do it. <p>Matt

Robbie, I didn't really need to delete your post, but I didn't want that thread to deteriorate into name calling back and forth from the Audi and BMW brethren.<p>NeilM

Tired of censorship especially when the definition of censorable material is completely vague and valid posts are lost: i.e. hans, Mike Z, unbiased owner and etc.<p>Define obscenity. I have seen posts removed that contained no obscenity or only words such as "suck." If this word is offensive, you guys need thicker skin!<p>What happened to good humor and boys will be boys? I do not condone the use of foul or offensive language (which is not present here) but it seems as if every time someone bashes an A4, Audi owners respond with profanity and the thread is removed. I have seen post containing very offesive words remain provided they are not dissing Audi. (example: where the F*** is my A4).<p>Do you not agree that if this board is to maintain any integrity or credibility that negative posts should be allowed to remain? You have the ability to delete the after corresponding profane threads yet you chose to delete the entire post which is non-offensive but negative toward Audi in general.<p>I personally love my A4 and would never intinially instigate the use of profanity but I am incensed by censorship in any form.<p>We are all big boys and girls and can handle a bit of immaturity from time to time especially if the immaturity pertains to constructive criticism.

What have you done for me lately?

Ha...gotcha to look<p>Hey Neil, did you hear Scott S is considering an M Coupe?<br>Damn Evil Empire Stock has gone from 70 to 125 in 12 months.<br>Hope you got a piece of it.<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM

We Canadians burned down the Whitehouse after the U.S. decided to attack Canada in the war of 1812.<p>I bet Larry Flint never did that :-)<p>A Canuck

Jason has the right to censor anything he wants on this board. It's his.<p>In the US at least, the only people who can't censor is a government institution.
