This whole Perfect Piano situation is pretty crazy but it shouldn't be censored (i.e. deleting threads). There are two very prominent Internet Forums, Keyboard Magazine's Forum at http://www.musicplayer.com/cgi-bin/ulti ... /f/18.html and Harmony Central's Forum at http://acapella.harmony-central.com/for ... forumid=18 As you probably know, these forums are moderated by pretty well known people in the music industry, people like Dave Horne, Stephen Fortner, Ernie Rideout, Max Sidman, Ken Hughes, Dave Bryce, Michael Gallant, Martin Hines, etc. NONE of these guys have deleted any threads on this topic at their forums that haven't broken forum rules. (although they have asked their members to let this topic fade away).
There is proof that Mr. Coakley is modifying and deleting threads on his company's forum pages see here for proof
Mr. Coakley has viciously and cruelly attacked several well respected music Industry professionals on both a personal and professional level. This is fact and should not be censored.
Regardless of the topic, I cannot support the unilateral deletion of threads or posts that are not breaking forum rules. (i.e. profanity, libel, ad hominem personal attacks, etc.)
The very important concept that I think the three of you should really think about is this: Censorship of posts should not be invoked if the post does not break forum rules.
I am very interested in your views on this. I leave open the possibility that I'm missing something here, but I think all of the music industry professionals mentioned above are in the right regarding deciding not to delete threads that do not break forum rules.
Thanks for giving me the ability to post my views, and thanks (in advance) for not deleting this post!!
