I don’t understand **Cajun Man’s** reasoning behind closing **pizzabrat’s** [Let’s play Flag Count](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=8932246#post8932246) thread. I don’t necsessarily disagree that it’s of dubious value, but is that a reason to close it? If the value is for fun, as **pizzabrat** says, and some people agree enough to post in it, I don’t see why it needs to be closed. ---

I was just coming here to ask the very same question. Since when is “prurient and tasteless” the standard by which threads are judged? I don’t find this any more prurient or tasteless than, say, “Ask the bathroom cruiser” or whatever it’s called or any of the many threads we’ve had on every possible variation on sexual intercourse or the elimination of human and animal waste products. This was a very bad closure. ---

That was maybe the least prurient thread about sex I’ve seen on this board. Has the board become officially Victorian now? ---

Right in the middle of me composing my baffled defense thread. Thanks guys. EDIT: I was especially concerned about the “don’t do this again”. Do what? There was no logic or consistency to the closing. ---

The worst of it was the “Don’t do this again” ominous-sounding-thingy. Don’t do _what_ again — post something completely harmless that other people enjoy? ETA: Sorry, Pizzabrat. Didn’t mean to step on your toes there. ---

Wow, dumbest closing ever. It was pointless and silly, but, um, hello? That describes half the threads on this board. Ok, everyone - _never post anything silly again_. **Ever.** **wags finger at the naughty naughty Dopers** ---

It couldn’t have been that prurient, if I posted in it. Seriously. ---

The only way I get on the list at all is by dating a guy in college who was on the last plane out of Cuba when Castro seized power. He was 3 years old at the time. So, Cuban guy counts! Other than that–I got nothing. \ Re the closing: all I can say is that is one of the few sex threads I feel comfortable in, so it most definitely is PG rated. Ok, MAYBE PG-13. It’s not even R… 😕 ---

I just did a search on the word “poop”. On that whole first page, only one was closed.

I’m not posting to this thread to question **Cajun Man’s** decision, though I am interested in what he has to say about it. I’m posting to brag that I was just totally hitting on a babe from Holland who could be an underwear model. Yeah, I rock, why do you ask? ---
