What makes you so smart that you think you know what the underlying tones of any thread that someone else started may or may not be? Is there a moderator school that you went to? Have you got a Phd. in Underlying toneology? I am a member of several other forums, most not snowmobiling related and I have never seen a thread closed for any reason. And they are all moderated. Most of them you can even say sh#t or cr#p and a few other words without the fear of getting an infraction. I'm just saying. Mello out a little bit and others won't be so quick to try and push the Mod buttons
It's all about control and feeling the need to "justify your position".
