Old saying: Words are like birds, once released they cannot be recaptured.
In today's language: If you don't want your offer to be discussed, don't post it on a forum.

How
I try to handle this...
Optimally, modifying threads is for
clarity. Sometimes this requires someone with access(me or moderator to snip out a few words in more than one posting. E.G. Someone gets confused between threads, posts nonesense, someone else points it out, and a third person chirps a comment about 1 & 2. Snip,snip,snip. No offense is intended when I snip your words, I delete the minimum.
Items that were offered for sale or parts wanted, are deleted unless there was a fair amount of interaction on the thread, in which case the social interaction alone might be best left as part of the permanent record.

Super bitchy threads or threads that spun horrifically off topic may be best deleted or at very least locked.
