The reason this one is still up is because you have at least kept it from rolling into direct personal attacks- which some of you are actually bordering on anyway. If you've got an issue with a thread being closed, and you PM a mod about it, understand that you may be ONE person out of the dozen or more who posted to the same thread that has a gripe with it. We're not going to reopen a shitty thread on the complaint of one person from a group of participants, that would make no sense.
And sometimes, they have to be closed down because you people (some of you, you know who you are) just can't keep your personal comments to yourselves. You just HAVE to drop an attack in there. Well, guess what? We don't allow it, you know we don't, and when a fight breaks out, the thread gets shut down- and it's no one's fault but YOURS.

FWIW, my comments had nothing to do with a thread being closed. They only dealt with comments made in an open thread by a mod and my attempts to report posts that were clearly defamatory towards me. Since I've been told in the past that rather than reply to insulting posts I should report them I attempted to do so. Not receiving any response and no alterations being made to the reported posts proved this method of regulation to be ineffective. The mod comment was in response to my attempt at "self regulating" a thread rather than relying on mods to clean up after us politics posters. Apparently that was no longer the proper thing to do either.
