This thread is also going nowhere.

Yep. It's reached that point in a debate thread's life-cycle.

As to whether or not it should be locked -- I leave that up to the mods.

But I do agree that they should severely restrict threads attacking or criticizing other sites.

Agree here, too. For the most part.

The only problem that I would point out is that an attacked party -- be it a company, a website or an individual -- should have the opportunity to answer the spurious charges that tend to be made against them on a semi-regular basis.

Locking a thread might prevent them from doing this -- and thus end up leaving the false impression that unanswered accusations made in the locked thread might be true.
