I am sorry - I am not uncivil or controversial. I just want to know what the principle is behind this closure. I do belive that personal attacks should be censured - I am just curious whether it should take the form of banning the offending comments or the form of a collective punishment.

Well, here's an idea,,, why not simply add a modified ignore button, like most fora do, so you can no longer see those whom you think to be trolls within that thread? This tidbit from Anton: > Quote - Personally, I was once told by a mod here she thought I needed to be taught a lesson and left a thread open.

You're serious? Okay, I can see "Free Discussion, eh?" or "Hey, toughen up a little" as valid reasons if a mod didn't want to lock a thread. But "you need to be taught a lesson"? Something isn't right there. Karen: > Quote - I edited your thread title to reflect reality more closely...

That ain't right either. Since when did Rendo's fora become The Ministry of Truth? Oy, vey... /P
