Ooooops, you guys are scratching an old scabby wound that just won't heal. I do agree that some posts should be kept open because they are relevant, while others like the 77th RTT should have been shot long ago. Now the 78th RTT is closed down too.
Sometimes these posts evolve into pissing matches or just one liners that only the people posting know about. Those postings should be reserved for PM's. When this happens, the thread should be locked or a new topic discussed.
Believe me, I have been locked out of more than my fair share of topics once Herr Moderator sees fit to close the thread down. I think that stifles free opinions that could be shared on this board. Call me opinionated, a jerk, or whatever. I do believe in what I post and I stand by it 100%. Want to flame me, feel free. I know it's 98% done in jest and I can take it as well as I give it.
This is a police type forum, not an AOL chatroom. Feelings will be hurt because by and large, cops are opinionated and assertive in their views and clashes are bound to happen. If you can't stand the heat, give up your Herr Moderator baton to someone who can use it wisely and judiciously. Just don't post your personal opinion and close the thread down. That's childish and akin to taking your ball & going home.
