It's just a matter of respect and staying on topic. Tensions and passions run high and people (including myself) can get very carried away and start typing and not realize what they said and how negatively it was said until it was posted.
This usually rises someone else's ire and before you know it the topic is ignored and namecalling is all that is being done (been there also). The mods try to stop this cycle before it starts and they do a damn good job. I have yet to see any true "official" bias but they do and should have their own opinions but they don't lock a thread based on those.
Halx and company have one of the best forums on the net and deservedly so because they work hard to let us be heard but they also have very short ropes to allow flamers and trolls to feast.

Sorry about that I didn't mean the mods would lock the thread for no reason, I meant that people have a hard time expressing themselves in a civil way sometimes (myself included), much like you said. Sorry for any confusion.
