You mean if it was the opposite of off topic?
I'd have to agree with you there

We received a reported post, a mod (not me in this instance) took a look, made a judgement, and acted accordingly.
From reading the post and reading the complaint, I can say that I would have done the same. Although in my case I might have hacked some more portions out of some more posts.

OK, let me throw this down and see if I can explain my point of view on this. The post in question was about Meat Vs other artists and was posted in a review thread.
A long time ago, in a galaxy faf far away (OK, Chorley) a ML tribute act took offence to people posting reviews that said stuff like "Steve Steinman in the best Meat Loaf tribute". Or "Pete Loaf is the worlds greatest", or "The Flying Mouse beats them all". OK, I added the last one
This persons point was that you coult not possibly say somebody was "the best" unless you had seen every Meat Loaf tribute in the world do a performance.
That, I believe, is daft.
But I had to personally defend this burks point every time someone said "someone is the best", and usually getting the height of abuse for my pains.
Remember what I said about how we defend people we don't agree with? this was walking talking proof.
There's nothing wrong with people saying "Meat's the best" "Meat's the greatest" "nobody puts on a show like Meat".
There's nothing wrong with this because it's what is in the persons heart.
They might not be very educated because they might not have seen all these acts perform in person.
Even if they had, as far as i'm aware there is no universally used scale to meassure accuratly how good or enjoyable a show is.
Take a post like that for what it is. Heartfelt opinion, even though it has no basis in FACT.
Doesn't mean people cannot expess their feelings.
I'm sure there are people on Westlife forums that say "nobody does it like Westlife". I'm inclined to agree, which is why i'm not a fan of theirs
But I feel no offense or compulsion toi go and correct them that Meat Loaf is CLEARLY a supperior performer, and his songs are a hell of a lot better.
It has never upset me when someone has said "someone is the best Meat trib in the world". It doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Arguing the toss over wheather Meat is better than someone else, just because a fan said it on a thread that's dealing with reviews of a concert, is, with all due respect, on par with that trib demanding that nobody be crowned king of the hill without scientific proof
It had no place on the thread, and was going to drag it off topic till it was locked.
That's why it was removed.
