Woot censorship (re. XP vs. Vista)

What’s the deal with Woot admin(s) editing threads to remove messages? In today’s woot thread someone asked a question about XP vs Vista and there were several (considered) replies but some woot admin has erased them all. I understand that it is not relevant to the product but that is how internet forums work, non?

Couldn’t the admin have created a new thread and moved the messages there or at least pointed the users to that thread instead of doing the internet equivalent of showing the middle finger? Is it a good policy to treat customers this way?

Because it didn’t belong in the product thread. It could have easily overtaken then comments on the product.

Those discussions belogn in EBW.
