Locking Hitler's Alternate Universe

As the OP of Hitler's Alternate Universe - Great Debates - Straight Dope Message Board

I understand why Gack was banned but I am at a loss as to why the thread was locked.

Yes, my original “thesis” was pretty lame and uniformed, but over time, it transformed itself into lively exchange of ideas that I was finding illuminating. I’d like you to reopen the thread.

A side issue. Trolls are trolls because intelligent? people react to them. If the informed here merely recognized an asshole for what he is and ignored him, the mods could retire the SWAT team and get back to directing traffic.

Thanks for listening,

John

ETA mods please correct the typo in the title :o

I closed the thread because I thought the conversation was going to be over without Gack. If you’re interested in discussing the topic some more I don’t mind reopening it. That’s done.

And thus Marley23 went down in history as the man who allowed Hitler’s Alternate Universe to thrive.

We would expect nothing less of someone who started his career as administrator by banning the entire board.

Thanks.

Aloha

Dammit, Marley. You get all the great nicknames.
