I see no reason why Stoid should be protected from her own OP. The only reason she asked for that thread to be closed was because after over 400 posts only one or two posters agreed with her reasoning. She’s started threads on the subject in the past, and no doubt will in the future.
She’s not disinclined to discuss the subject, as evidenced both by the previous threads and by the fact that she was the third reply in this follow-up thread. She simply wants to discuss the subject only on her terms.
If people want it reopened, I’ll reopen it. It’s Pit tradition that the OP can’t just push the stop button when things don’t go as they planned. On the other hand, I don’t think that means I’ll never close the thread, either. It seemed to be pretty redundant, and it was, as you indicate over 400 posts. You are the first to complain. But I’ll consider reopening it.
Nevertheless, my feeling is that she’s talked about the subject before, she’ll probably talk about it again, and that she was perfectly happy to talk about it now as long as somebody would tell her she was right. She only asked for it to be closed because not enough people were telling her she was right.
I suppose we can always wait for the one entitled “Arrogant Asshat Appellant Judges” if we have to.
