Mods, why was the Coronavirus thread "nuked"?

[Davefr]

I assume it was because a couple posts crossed the threshold into "political" territory.

However can't you all "surgically" remove a few posts that go awry vs. delete an entire thread. COVID-19 is obviously a big deal and the discussion with fellow GJ members is always valuable/insightful.

I don't see that it was much different then other typical free parking discussion. Just curious?

This forum is also a place to post typical conversations that you might have in your garage. We like the idea of promoting the community here and want to provide a place where folks can keep in touch with others of like mind.

there were several posts deleted by different moderators that smacked at Politics etc. it went on for several days until it was closed, then it was decided to delete it.
There were several other threads deleted regarding the virus, some of the posts were just plain silly .
Maybe it *****, but Ryan's rules are pretty straight forward, no political posts .
