Since there are three moderators, and I think you are not talking about
yourself, it seems (how's that for logic ?) that one of the two moderators was
me. I don't remember suggesting to delete a post, or agreeing with deleting, or
anything similar.

I do remember that someone, who is not a moderator, took offence at Vincent's
post and invited the moderators to delete it. This was not done, and was not
considered.

This panel of moderators so far deleted only one post by Mick Adams, and did not
even consider deleting any other post.
