I remove threads all the time that are unrelated to the Lakes Region. Since 9/11 I have also made exceptions for monumental events. This monumental event happened very close to home and directly affected many of our members. I do try to contain the comments within a single thread and they are usually closed after everyone has had a chance to comment. If I had removed this thread and prevented any comments about the bombings I would have been harshly criticized and probably lost more members than if I allowed it.
