This thread should never have been locked. There was still a discussion taking place in it even if you didn't like it. But tell me this, why did this thread get locked while several other looping threads were allowed to go unlocked? I feel a wave of mod-powered disagreement going on here.
He was reacting to people being ignorant twits by being an equally ignorant twit. It happens.
He should deal with ignorant twits accordingly. Not the entire thread. Then he suggest we don't remake the thread? It's clear that he does not agree with gay marriage and uses his mod-power to force his disagreement on the thread.

Well, I'm going under the assumption he had his thread locked because most of his OP was in fact NOT talking about gay marriage, but his throbbing hate bulge with religion. Typically, when you make a topic, you should stay on topic.
I was suspended for 7 days because a moderator went out of their way to track my posts, looking for a way to suspend me. Research fact: Not everyone who made a post of that nature got in trouble.
Now, how about that thread unlock? Unless of course, you are willing to lock the other examples of looping arguments. It's only fair.

Why waste time and effort on something so pointless? You are a member, nothing less, nothing more. You are not being targeted out of any other of the hundreds of thousands of members on MCF. Because, honestly, why would we? What would make you a target out of any of the thousands of other regular members that post on the forum? And really, if we though you as such a detrimental user we would have asked you to stop you behaviour, and if you failed to do so, issued a ban.
I only skipped your post when none of those threads were locked. Do you have to code the forum to close the threads?
During my time as a forum moderator all I had to do was tick a box next to the threads I wanted to lock and lock threads en mass. Of course, I didn't lock threads just because I had a different political stance. That would make the forum boring.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to unlock the gay marriage thread, or close the looping threads? (that means all of them).
As I said, I will lock them in due time. I have some plans for the recreation for at least one of them and are detailing ideas and planning a smooth transition.

Then unlock the gay marriage thread until your grand recreation is complete.
I can't say I believe you with a straight face, though. This smells more like bigotry the longer it goes on.
And since you didn't correct me, I'm guessing this forum uses similar software to the forum I used to moderate? Can't take more than a few seconds.
That thread was getting a but redundant, and there were very, very few people disagreeing, it wasn't really a discussion. The other threads aren't the same way, the religion thread is one of the largest and oldest still active threads in all of the forums, and for a good reason, there's an actual discussion going on there, granted it was larger back when it was in the GOT section, but still, there's genuine conversations taking place in that thread, unlike the gay marriage one.
What kind of circus are you running here? The other looping argument threads are not locked. This can only mean that you locked the thread simply because you don't like the idea of gay marriage.

This is easily one of the best examples of ad hominem conjecture I've ever seen on this forum. It would be just as rational to assume that a poster hates kittens because they made a post about their favorite flavor of ice cream - there's no logical connection.
The possibility that the thread was closed for being redundant, or off-topic, or any other number of reasons never crossed your mind? Only the most sensationalist reasoning applies?
Isn't this some kind of fascism?

Making assumptions is bad. BTW, I suggest you take another clooose look at his post. See if you notice anything.

I think it's better to be mentioned in the open. The last time I was alone with a moderator they denied everything.

Denied what?

Nope...not seeing it.
