I have reviewed the posts being deleted from that thread and it is my opinion that the posts are (in both intent and reality) disruptions to the normal flow of the thread and I agree with the deletion reason of "Thread Disruption".
The intended spirit of that thread is for a group of people, likely share membership at another site in common, to talk about certain trading calls. Anything else is disruptive. Especially when it's continuation of a previously established pattern of participating in that thread solely for the purpose of disrupting it.
Someone has, however, asked that I remove the restriction on them creating another thread for these dissenting points of view to be aired, and I have told him to go ahead and do so as a Personal Thread. Though "the rules", as I'm led to understand them, don't forbid such a thread being used strictly as a personal attack forum (ie. It's a Personal Thread, so there are no rules), I've asked that the new thread not be used that way in the interests of not being destructive to the site.
I should note, however, that the same "the rules" I'm referring to also forbids me from taking any administrative action (such as restoration of posts), so what I'm offering here is solely my own opinion and the bottom line, as it currently apparently stands, is that posts can be deleted from that thread for any reason whatsoever, or even no reason at all.
