I feel bad for moderator Bashir, but honestly, that Ask and Memnu thread was such a great conversation for all of us!
I mean, using those moderator "lock" privileges feels like a total abuse of power, and trying to justify it by claiming people were "silly backtracking" on old posts—like those about Ezel—is just such a weak excuse, I guess.
Any discussion on any forum can turn "hot" for a million different reasons, and frankly, that should be welcomed,
rather than creating this depressing void or a culture of fear that just shuts down actual conversation.
A forum isn't just made up of moderators who make up random rules and overstep their bounds; it’s built by the users too.
The Ask and Memnu thread had so many people involved, including the silent types who might have finally felt ready to chime in, but you didn't even give them a chance, especially since you basically called most of us worthless anyway...
