**[Moderating]**

Yes, **Mr Shine** , this was a pointless thread, and hence I’m closing it. But no, that is not your decision to make. You should have just reported it. That’s Strike One, for threadshitting. Strike Two is for the manner in which you did so, by violating copyright, which is after all what made the thread problematic to begin with. Strike Three is editing a quote of **Happy Lendervedder** ’s post in order to change the meaning, which is prohibited here, and Strike Four is that the meaning you changed it to is a personal insult, which is _also_ prohibited. We will be discussing your further posting privileges, and in the meantime, this is an official Warning.
