Generally speaking, a discussion of a historical event is within guidelines. The problem comes about if the discussion becomes graphic, heated and/or controversial. I believe that the removal of your post had to do with the live link you posted but I think a simple edit would have done the trick. 

I apologize for any misunderstanding we might have caused and appreciate your questions regarding the removal.

Well we have an explanation.  As someone who loves studying history, I think one of the worst things intelligent people can do is fail to learn from the past.  So much talk is about moving foward, but sometimes I like to add slow things down and reflect on the past.

Not challenging mods, and respectfully accepting removal of post.  But I do love to explore history and have scanned QVC standards.

Could not find anything that forbids discussion of past historical events like Holocaust, its survivors, World War II etc. or its aftermath.

How have I offended, and how can it be avoided in future?  Thanks very much.

       Posting a sarcastic message like this probably isn't the way to make amends...lol  I'm sure there are many boards online where you can disculls all those things...find one.

I didn't find anything whatsoever sarcastic about her question. I think it's worthy of being asked. I've seen so many deleted, including some of mine, that made no sense why. I don't like the heavy-handed, random deletions.

@Teddie. I found out if you use the reply button on someone else's post and theirs gets deleted, so does yours. Always use the reply button on the top of the page. I have had mine deleted for that reason, it was attached to someone else's.

I knew that has been an issue before.

But after the election, I started a thread about the transition of one family to the next in the WH. I was fascinated with how fast they cleaned and painted and changed out the carpeting in such a quick amount of time. It seemed timely, considering what was going on. I mentioned no names, no political party but was interested in the history of the transition. There were some nice replies but it was quickly deleted. Just one example. 

There are many examples of things that are deleted that really make no sense. Sometimes they're innocent enough but are taken down because they *might* turn bad. Just depends on the day.

@Teddie, I think you were probably well-meaning but naive in thinking that such a thread would not become political/controversial in a nanosecond.

As for historical threads, I can imagine that they might veer that way very easily.

Thanks very much, Beth-QVC, for your clarification.  Appreciated and duly noted.  And thanks, posters, for intelligent discussion.  Happy holiday weekend to all,   Oznell.

I totally agree....  I remember one of my History Teachers in High School she said the reason we study history is to learn from our past! (it looks like some more "studying" in this area is needed)........
