Status: offline 		If the moderator believes that a thread should be locked there should be no question or public challenge? If it gets a ban it is not the moderators fault?

Especially for those who believe they are more important than everyone and intentionally post to get threads locked.
And, most definitely to simply make comments that are all about them and what they want. But, never about the rules that we all should follow?

Stop wasting the moderators time and just follow the rules. That is the best advice that anyone can give. It will also help to reduce the amount of locked threads?

Status: offline 		If it is not locked and the reason stated, I am sure that you can always send a pm to ask why and ask if any offending posts/material be removed if that is possible.

Status: offline 		I think it it is fair to issue a warning, or warnings before shutting a thread down. Most of the time the moderators give hints or an explanation as to the reason for a warning that gives posters a chance at being reasonable about the request, it's a big problem if it is the moderator is the one with an attitude. I do enjoy discussions even if they are not mine. There are times when the thread has a matter that can not be poked even though it is the big fat elephant in the room that is being held as sanctimonious like: Turning your back to your nation's flag at a time when it should be celebrated. Now tell me somebody did not do that and expect me to honor the sport, it's already sullied with no taking it back no matter what other sport is being competed for, none the less I try to be understanding even though it is something I find distasteful and move on in life.

In actuality, it really must have no value if they are willing to do that.

If that person does not value their and if it is different than mine, then why should I value and respect theirs?

Because you have your own standards, and principles, and try to adhere to them as best as you can?

Edit: And hope that you are judged by your own actions.

Status: offline 		Well someone always start a thread - Etc I'm Canadian- there is always coat of arms against or flag against. EX: If I say I'm very liberal then right wing will jump or the opposite. It is the nature of forums. Topics too much emphasize one identity or nation not good. Should be more liberal, at least for wargaming.

If you had not noticed the forum is called: "General Discussions". As far as I can tell, there has been nothing really, really, really nasty written in this thread. There's been a few thoughts expressed maybe some hit home to others for different reasons, heck that's what a discussion is all about.

What kind of tea? Hot? Iced? Sweet? Unsweet? Green? That is important and will tell us a lot about you.

Sometimes sugar, usually not. Honey, sometimes if I have it but I want real honey and not honey flavored corn syrup. Lemon, sometimes if I have it. Hot? yes. Cold? Yes. Hot then cooled to room temperature? yes. Tisanes? yes. A bump? Sometimes if I have it.
