I totally get that OP’s can request that their thread be closed, and am not in disagreement with that.

But this poster, after a contentious thread, with many participants, basically, returned, responded to 9 posters, told 7 of the them they ‘misunderstood’ and then had the thread closed.

What the Hell?

How is that okay? I would not have a problem with it being closed before Big T’s latest post. If he wanted. But to come in and respond to all those posters, basically telling them they just don’t get it, and then, before they can respond, thread closed.

(Just to be clear to the sensitive Big T, this is not about anything you said or your thread specifically. It’s about thread closure protocol, in general, and your thread is just the example being used. Just so you understand.)
