Y'know what's strange?
An exchange between two posters  on this thread I saw earlier has completely disappeared.  It's not noted as removed for being uncivil, just GONE.

One fellow had referred to white Canadians (I think) as 'you people" and another poster challenged with a post saying only ' "you people"??'.

Now, both posts are gone, but surely the responding post cannot be considered uncivil, so why was it too removed? 

The moderators seem to be engaged in some kind of discussion engineering rather than merely policing civility.
