Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?

I have mostly been taking part of this forum occasionally, and from a distance if you will.  I have to admit I don't really know the kind of things that can go on, disputes or disagreements that can occur.  I have occasionally done searches in this forum using the search function to only come upon a thread that has been removed, oddly enough.

I have seen some discussions, and taken part in some others that become somewhat of a debate on certain brands, and they have become critical in some instances.  Usually fans of the brand in question rush to the defence, and from what I've seen, a healthy discourse occurs, with back and forth and occasional posts removed.  I'm thinking of smaller internet direct manufacturers such as your Emotivas, Schiit Audio, Ascend Acoustics and the like.

What I'm wondering is, have such companies had negative discussions stopped or removed?  Has anyone been part of similar discussions in which moderators suddenly step in and either lock or completely remove a discussion?

My impression is that the mods remove threads when they become hostile or no longer remain on topic. Often times, they give a warning before deleting the discussion.
I been on a number of deleted discussions, and they got removed due to the above reasons.

It was a weird thread.
Both the OP and Mr. Alexander never revealed all the details of the order, and why it went the way it did.
Anyhoo, I hope both parties have reached a mutually satisfactory agreement.

Gentlemen and Ladies,
It is this kind of banter that gets threads deleted.
I know some posters can post something that gets your kickers in a twist, but, think before you post. Most times, just using a logical retort can put them in their place.
We are all better than this...

@wolf_garcia , @cleeds ,

There are always two sides to a story. But, in the Tekton case, the owner never articulated why the OP was incorrect nor why it would take this long to make the pair of speakers-despite his changing the original order.

@OP, 
Unfortunately, political divisiveness is now the norm, given our current administration's behaviour.
Like most things, it should be short-lived, especially in our Tweet filled world.
In the meantime, we can still enjoy the comments from posters such as Almarg, Eric-Squires, and Atmasphere.
