Closing [another thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=13194711#post13194711) I kinda liked for really no reason. Theres nothing I can do other than offer this lame-ass protest. You suck and your coddling mother instinct would be silly if it wasn’t so juvenile. ---

I guess I might understand why the thread was closed if I knew either Curtis LeMay or Qin Shi Huang so I’d know why **tomndeb** modded that post and then closed it instead of moving it. Seems like he could have at least moved it to the pit! ---

Seems like he could have at least moved it to the pit! Qin Shi Huang is the poster formerly known as Curtis LeMay. IMO the thread didn’t need to be moved or closed. ---

You can post your complaint to the appropriate forum, for example, _sans_ vitriol. ETA: While I’m at it, if you are evil, you are evil. If you are evil _and_ have the highest body count, you are evilmostest of them all. IMHO. ---

General Curtis LeMay was a right wing Army general _circa_ Vietnam War era, of “Bomb them back to the Stone Age” fame. Qin Shi Huang was an ancient Chinese Emperor. The poster named **Quin Shi Huang** used to be named\*\* Curtis LeMay\*\*. ---

That thread is like the Argument Sketch. Just as it started getting interesting _ding!_ Good morning! You’ll have to pay for another 5 minutes. ---

Complaints about moderator actions go in ATMB. However, the tone of this OP is not appropriate for that forum, so I am closing this instead of moving it.
