I think I remember what happened... Mr. Desper made an unfortunate comparison between some band members antics and Trump's "locker room" comments. He retracted it pretty quickly, but not before a smileysmiler (I don't remember who, and it doesn't matter anyway, I agree it's no one's fault Mr. Desper took leave of this forum) screencapped it and posted the retracted statements. I remember this because it rubbed me the wrong way (because it implicated Beach Boys band members in actions that they may not be able to defend themselves for in their deceased state). I said I thought that posting a screencap of the retracted statement was not a cool thing to do, and I think there was some agreement at that point to lock or remove the thread.
I'm pretty sure Mr. Desper had already made the "leaving this town" announcement prior to the screencap getting posted. Still, I didn't think it was fair to that statement to be left visible.
Screenshot wasn't big deal imo. But glad we agree it's nobody's fault. He was good poster with great info. Those who think he was treated unfairly & it made him leave, we'll agree to disagree. It's just that, checking that thread, some people had flying reactions to anything "Trump". It was valid too, I think.I'm pretty sure Mr. Desper had already made the "leaving this town" announcement prior to the screencap getting posted. Still, I didn't think it was fair to that statement to be left visible.
