What happened to Mapleman's thread?

[Uncle Al]

Mapleman posted a thread in the last week regarding a blade coming off a Lucas Mill. I can't remeber if it was in the "Small Timber Milling" or "Safety" section.
There were quite a few replies, one of which was from me, and also one from the manufacturer.
The whole post seems to have disappeared, with no mention of it in Mapleman's activity list, and no record in my activity list of replying to it.
A keyword search comes up with zilch.
Why has it disappeared?. Did it get cut off by the flying blade?
Bit of a mystery.
Can't imagine why it would have been "pulled". More likely a glitch somewhere.
Something for the guru's to look into.

Yep; vanished. I followed the link from my email notification and forum say: "invalid thread". I used the link to get to it origionaly so I know the link's good.

Somehow about an hour and a half ago the very talented Artme has managed to 'like' a comment I made on Mapleman's post when we could all see the original post.
How can Artme do that when the original post has disappeared?
When I clicked on the link included in the notification below, I ended up with a message along the lines of "invalid link, contact an administrator".
Summunt very strange going on..

Can anyone throw any light onto this mystery?

The posts within the thread deteriorated, plus without clear evidence there were potential impacts on reputations all round, so in discussions with posters the thread was removed.
