Yes, why was that thread closed?
Because it was about marking Remembrance Sunday only. It wasn't a 'discussion' thread as such.
I wanted others to be able to leave comments tooQuote:

I have the utmost respect for Remembrance Day and the sacrifice made by people to ensure my liberties Mark but isn't that the point?
The people that abuse these types of threads sicken me but will always do it. Surely free speech is about understanding this and no matter how distasteful by affording them that option?
Surely that is one of the core beliefs behind the sacrifice made by the people we remember on 11/11. If people want to know more or comment, for whatever reason, then why not? If they break forum rules then deal with them but an open forum should be open to discussion, whatever the subject, within the rules we signed up to. It should not be governed by the beliefs and sensibilities of the Mods no matter how well meaning, within the forum code.
I won't bother posting such a thread in future then.
I tend to agree (even though one person's definition of what constitutes a suitable comment in such a discussion will often differ from another's). Either don't have a thread or allow discussion.Quote:
