There was an odd Pit thread a few days ago started by a poster whose name was something like “Woottenite.” I don’t remember the exact spelling.  
In any case, I noticed it had disappeared and was hoping for a bit of clarification. Was it decided he was a troll/sock? Or was this a technical aberration?  
Either way, I was considering starting a similar thread without all the awkward hostility.

Yes.

I’ll also mention that we do prefer members ask these questions via email or PM. All mods and admins are available via both.

There is an ongoing discussion of this policy in the [Pit](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=423284).
