I'd like an example of how "the list just goes on" then.

Birdie's post was deleted because the forum/thread it was in is only meant for real discussion about the rules. If you'd have scrolled up a bit you'd have seen multiple posts deleted for the same reason. If anything I should've deleted more posts rather than less.

Your "relevant discussion" with Birdie was nothing more than an off-topic yes-no fight that had no value for the topic and was thus deleted. The somewhat blunt edit reason (I should've phrased it otherwise, apologies.) was because I was quite tired.

Assuming this thread would get deleted makes no sense.
