Default Why are threads closed?

I bring this up in regards to the nutter in Melbourne thread.

Are the mods to scared to let people have an honest debate about certain issues?

I have firm view of this nutter in Melbourne, but if I was to share this view on this forum I would probably be banned for life.

Are we not adults, can we not just say what we think without the powers to be closing down a thread.

Maybe the mods are not adults and can not handle a good debate(sounds very much like the greens).

Why close the thread, I think plenty of people on this forum would have some valid points to add.

It is easy to see why that thread was closed given the many pathetic but sadly predictable posts contained therein.

It seems that the nutters in society aren't just confined to Melbourne - more and more seem to find it necessary to post on this forum.

No - but it is possible to do it and maintain an ounce of class and decorum.

Do even know the true meaning of bigot?

A good example is how the greens refused to listen to Pauline Hanson's speech.

Now that is a bigot, refusing to listen to someone else's point of view.

That is dead right - and plenty of the ilk posting in the locked thread.

Just because someone has an opinion, doesn't make them a bigot, it's a difference of opinion that's all, unless of course you're calling for beheadings/hangings or something

G'day Re the particular thread closed..How's this..
The driver of the offending vehicle in question ,that may subsequently be proven deficient of mental state , or of corrupted intoxicated state or drug induced state took it upon himself to commit a vehicle theft after assaulting a person known to him.

This male person of a percieved mediterranean family background there upon chose to abscond from the constabulary after formerly being granted bail from an earlier offence on an earlier date..

The accused offender then duly used the stolen motor vehicle to take the lives of five pedestrian bystanders including the lives of a pre teenage female and a infant male . Further pedestrians were injured in the Victorian city of Melbourne on Friday January 20th without due cause and care and attention.

The alleged offender was captured by police officers and incurred a gunshot wound during the process to an appendage..He was conveyed to a secure medical institution where at a yet to be disclosed time and date he will be requested to aid the police force with their inquiries on the matter..
Formal charges are expected..

Sarcastic I know guys but this stuff makes people angry and for some of us , trying to find a way of getting the anger off your chest sometimes leads to venting it via a Forum.. I understand though that the moderators have a job to do if they think it's really out of hand..

Fair enough , but sometimes especially in cases like this terrible and totally unnecessary act that thousands of people witnessed , not least the emergency services personnel , we/they need to have their say..

It's all over the media too so we form strong , maybe too strong opinions but they can't be easily dismissed...Please understand that this is normal behaviour ..I can't cope with it yet that this can essentially ruin literally thousands of lives..

Bottom line is this. It's not about ethnicity , religion , mental , alcohol or drugs. None of that matters really. , This is a crime hard for any sane , normal , rational human being to cope with under any circumstances..

Frustration and anger causes all sorts of reactions..and some of us used the Forum to say what we thought..Sometimes 'political correctness' just doesn't cut it as I tried to demonstrate above... Rod...

Oh my god, here comes the " he was mentally unstable".

No ****, anyone who follows Islam is mentally unstable.

And before all the do gooders come out say anything, it has been proven this piece of **** had just converted to Islam.

Bigot:The English noun bigot is a term used to describe a prejudiced or closed-minded person, especially one who is intolerant or hostile towards different social groups (e.g. racial or religious groups), and especially one whose own beliefs are perceived as unreasonable or excessively narrow-minded, superstitious, or hypocritical.
