| I just want to make one small comment (unrelated to the original topic). Even if you think the issue is trivial, people just want to vent. They may say "I hate **** because of this." "*** sucks because of that." But chances are, after venting they will be happy to return. As long as things are kept fair and honest, there shouldn't be a problem saying your piece. I know on that same board we have been speaking about, one moderator in particular shuts threads down the second things seem to be going down. In fact, IMO the closing is far too premature - but that is moot.
I like RL's idea that as long as a thread is "clean" let's leave it open. People will tire of the topic and move on. When you close a topic early, people keep the feelings in and tend to repeat the threads later. |
