I'm the first to admit that that was a bad judgement call.
It was a misjudged attempt to reassure the members that i'd be editing the thread as fairly as possible to everybody and with some context.
Well, from reading the forum I can see that that one came back to bite me in the ass

Welcome to the internet, where motives are twisted and all good intentions lead to the dog house.
So for what it's worth, it was a bad call on my part, and i'm sorry for that.

I'm reading a lot of posts like that

But go invent some wormhole technology, skip to an alternative dimension where I just deleted the thread, and see how many complaints
that would have got.
Add to this...............

When it comes to an edit of a long thread with long posts, it's a bit like taking an empty glass and pouring a random amount of water into it.
Ask for opinions and half the people will say you poured too much water.
The others will say not enough.
Some folks on both sides will say you spilt some and it's a bit messy.

...........there'll also be folks who will tell you you didn't need to put any water in the glass, and some will say you should have took the glass off the table.
It's big news, no doubt, and there's no reason not to discuss it as long as we can all put our anger on the back burner a little until such time (if) more information is offered.

To be fair mate, I think that the fact it was posted on here that Patti doesn't visit the forum, and folks would be better off sending her messages of support on facebook, has a lot more to do with why there are not more messages on the thread rather than people not caring.
That said, there is nothing wrong with a public show of thanks, even if she doesn't get to see those messages.
I for one will be more than happy to post my thanks and best wishes in the thread.
