I don't think they need to do that. Closed is closed, no appeal, no rebate, just is.Are people that touchy about the subject or they don’t think it belongs on an electronics forum?
Please Explain.

You do get blamed for a lot of things, especially when you're not around.They probably though it was posted by me.
I bet that's a favorite quote among the mods: "Shortbus did it..."You do get blamed for a lot of things, especially when you're not around.
One can but hope to achieve that level of fame and notoriety.I bet that's a favorite quote among the mods: "Shortbus did it..."
We post here because this is where we are comfortable, and the site has an Off-Topic section. We can get rid of that section if the mods and the admins think it is just too much trouble. I'm agnostic on that particular action. The original post by the TS just asked for advice on a personal choice. He didn't ask for a larger policy debate on the subject.I would have to ask why someone would want to post a discussion about guns on an electronics site. You would find much more response in a forum for guns because almost all people there would be interested.
Yes good point. I often wonder why anyone would want to stop someone from talking about something.We post here because this is where we are comfortable, and the site has an Off-Topic section.

Well maybe some people get carried away sometimes (har har).If the moderators really wanted to fix this, all they would have to do is permit ALL topics while at the same time censoring any CONTENT that poses some sort of threat to the community at large.
I once had a thread shut down for supposedly violating the "no non-isolated power supply discussions" policy when in fact I wasn't even interested in discussing how to do any such thing - I just wanted to understand the underlying physical processes involved. Nothing was gained from locking that thread.
Exactly, I explicitly tagged Ron on the subject, I didn’t need someone coming in to say ”I don’t kill” that is the first comment to get the ball rolling now all you need is someone to counter it. Those people should have been warned with a ban, to shut up if your not talking about the Thread Start topic, not lock it, that to me is that a Mod was looking for someone to mis-behave because they didn’t like the Topic to begin with.We post here because this is where we are comfortable, and the site has an Off-Topic section.

Maybe a thread starter should have control on who gets to participate?Exactly, I explicitly tagged Ron on the subject, I didn’t need someone coming in to say ”I don’t kill” that is the first comment to get the ball rolling now all you need is someone to counter it.
