... Do you know what smoking gun means?

Smoking gun means undeniable evidence. If you could actually show me that, I would have to agree with you.

As far as I am aware, mods do not have the capability to delete threads. The people who may have the authority to do so (and idk if it's possible) are to my knowledge not left leaning. 

So, I agree with you that it would be disgraceful if it happened. But, "trust me bro" is not sufficient evidence for me to believe that it did.

If you dont want to find the evidence, fair, how you spend your free time is up to you. But I assume you would understand that without it I have no reason to believe you.

1) Not being able to find the thread and not wanting to find the thread are two different things

2) Curl's entire point is a group feels marginalized, which your behavior completely demonstrates as being true

3) There is a mod who actively was part of that thread/discussion and could confirm it happened, but is quiet, further proving Curl's point

4) The thread was conveniently removed, don't know what to tell you.  

5) I have no reason to make up a story, I just don't.  

Enjoy VG, I am sure it is a booming epicenter of excitement with the 5 members who haven't been chased away, yet.  

You made a claim. I am not going to believe a claim, particularly from an internet rando, without evidence. So I asked you to show me. That's all that happened. If you either can't or won't, then I can't determine if what you said was true. 

Asking you to demonstrate something you claimed is not marginalizing you and is certainly not marginalizing an entire group. Also, I'm not a mod, I'm just another user so this has nothing to do with Curl's point.

If anything you're showing that at least one member of that group, namely you, is looking to play the victim when they are subject to the slightest amount of pushback on anything they have said. When I don't understand something you said and ask for clarity "see you proved that we're marginalized". When I say I won't just take your word on something "see you've completely demonstrated that the group is marginalized."

Now, I'm not speaking about any particular group, just you. If this type of super mild pushback is making you feel marginalized, then the problem is completely on your end and I see why you needed a safer space.
