I thought it had potential.

Then again, that’s subjective.  
Then again, so was your decision to close the thread.  
Then again, you have the authority in this arena.  
Then again, I’m intoxicated.  
Then again, so are you.  
Then again, you have the power in this situation.

And we all must give way before power.

Let me just move this over to About This Message Board. There you can complain about moderator actions - in a polite way - all you wish.

I know how the OP feels. The Mods often drive _me_ to drink. That’s because I don’t have a car and the bar’s too far away to walk to.

**Moderating**

If you still want to discuss this when you’ve sobered up, you may start a new thread. Until then, I’m closing this.
