It was me (as Mike_311 so coyly alluded to) who locked it because it was generating more personal attacks than could be excised (as bear_music surmised). I am unlocking it, but it should be remembered that though it is rant, it is still moderated.

It would be entertaining to see a bar chart of SC member versus thread-locks. :-D

Also:
SC member versus:
post-hides
post-deletes
thread-hides

I'm sure someone would be glad to design some badges for each... ART!?!?

Warnings are often given, and further infractions result in suspension of forum posting priviledges.

It would be a fun little power trip to be able to prevent only certain users from posting to a thread if they ticked you or hahn off too much. :-D

ETA... that would prevent locking the thread and be a hilarious punishment to the abusive offender.

Ooh ooh! ... and ...

Something should be done about abuse of the Report post button.

99% of people are offended 1% of the time.

This has been really anti-climatic when I ignored the thread when it started getting over the top, so I didn't miss it, and I didn't see it's magical reappearance. :)

Ah, so it's a bit like when an MP finishes in the House of Commons they retire to the House of Lords where they can wear robes and fall asleep all day.
