Why was this thread locked?

Does this mean that all I have to do is make one complaint about the FSF and it will be shut down ? Sounds waaaay too easy.
 

First, you have to create a new login. See, you gotta be a noobie in order to get some action around here.

IMHO, two of the threads that were locked recently were locked for reasons which could apply to 99% of what's posted here.
 
"I see no point in letting this thread continue. " - Most threads don't have a point in the first place.
 
"there is nothing further to be gained from this." - Same as above. 
 
My guess is that a bunch of folks must have reported those particular threads.

Okay... I was trying not to say anything and you will notice my absence in the thread in question. I was asked to not discuss this anymore thus my silence. There was some stuff going on and it is now resolved. I accept Godling's apology and I apologize for calling him a "jackwagon".
 
Sorry for the disturbance. John was simply trying to retain some order so please do not blame him for what was a wee flare up between two users.
 
Also I am sorry if that is rather cryptic but really I've already said too much. It's done. All is well.
 
Peace, love and granola.
 
 

Beeps, now we're all "running away from the pain"

Host preemptively locks thread because he/she fears it might get out of hand!
 
Yawn.

I was once in a band called Jumpwagon.
 
Carry on.

Better lock every single one in every sub-forum then 'cos you never know..........
 
 

Agree. It may be valid but is a bit offensive for the reasons stated in the OP. The forum has become a wee bit like a neighborhood with a homeowners association that sends out letters about your lawn or some other nonsense but at least we don't have to pay dues... or do we? Heck, I'm not sure where my posts should go... I am glad to have overseers to put my junk where it belongs!

Thanks for popping in and acknowledging acceptance of my apology. And I accept yours also Beepster. Let's try to put this behind us and write it off as some community bonding where someone spiked the punch and some already emotionally stressed dude may have freaked out a bit (that's me I'm referring to here... just to be clear. lol).
 
Let's also have this include chatting with each other if you feel comfortable with that. I'll do my best to respect the topic and the posters should we cross discussion paths here. :)
 
@yoropal
The apology for 'jackwagon' was an indirect thing. It's not at all what this was about. I actually thought it was a great word choice also. I was offended... no mistake.. and I even made a small reference to it in the original thread... but took no harboured offense at that.
 
@everyonelse
I did not ask to have that 'theramin' thread closed.
 
Wookie has contacted me about this and asked that same question, so he seems to be on this.
 
I would also like to agree with everyone here and say that I was incredibly disappointed by the choice to lock that 'theramin' thread. Things were going very well, community relations were improving. The only reason I didn't complain about it being locked, was I felt I had already draw enough attention to myself. Fire-damage control had become more important than falling on the admins radar again.
 
I felt acknowledged... which directly led to my own apology in the matter. That the thread then got locked seemed 'trigger happy' in nature. Understandable I believe, but a mistake nonetheless. It should not have been locked imo. You lock a discussion when things spiral out of control... not when the community bonds in some way and tries to make things right.
