Hi Vladimir, it may be bad practice and bad manners, but there is nothing unethical about this.

Have you never been angry about posted materials and wanted to rebut it in a strong language?

I know I have.

We are scientists but we are also human. We get angry, frustrated and we usually vent our displeasure among colleagues and friends.

In this age of instant communication, it is easy to forget that you are addressing ~10 million scientists on RG when you are upset about something.

So I am offering a compromise. I delete my posts on this thread. You and Mahmoud delete your posts so Clifford can delete the question and learn a lesson.

Dear Clifford Morris

May the following recent articles can help you

Regards

Hi Clifford, I have had the same problem.

I wanted to delete a question of mine but RG management said that I can't delete a question that has been answered.

I did the same thing as you by deleting the question. I did not try to persuade the persons answering to delete their answers.

It's a bad practice, it's unethical - to delete question which was already answered. Hope you will not repeat your mistake.
