The mods need to lock threads on subjects that serve no purpose but create forum warfare. With no quarter given, and none taken.
No one is going to change their minds on certain topics.
So why allow a purposeless riot to continue?
Once matters get past the raised voices stage, and into the soft thuds stage -- then it's time to close the establishment for the night.
So why not save yourself some unnecessary grief, and stop the fight at the "raised voices" stage? In so doing, the admins avoid the hassle/loss of having to throw the combatants out of the door later on, when things have gotten completely out of control.
You lose fewer potential customers that way.
It's just good business practice. ;-)
