I am not sure why.
+1 here. No idea what thread this ramble is going on about (don't really even care) but if, as noted above the thread was ongoing for a month ........Closing a thread has been well managed in my opinion and the reasons for closing are predictable. Any post that beats too hard on a business or stirs emotions to the point of members leaving the site should be closed. Sure we all think its rotten when they close one of our posts, but the action is usually fair and appears to be unbiased.
