I will post again when I have heard from the moderator.

I have now done so. Neither the thread nor the post were
deleted. The whole affair was just a dumb troll.

This is simply not true, JA. What *is* true is that the
thread did not appear on the forum for at least several
hours. It simply disappeared. I noticed it after seeing
the original post. Krueger noticed it, too. As did others
I'm sure. This kind of denial and stonewalling doesn't
help your credibility. Try telling the truth.

I see your point. It's arguably true that "Neither the
thread nor the post were
deleted.", they were merely inacessible to most if not all
readers.

Most people don't see the distinction between inacessible
and deleted, especially if the post hadn't have been
restored to normal status.
