The threads were closed partly because they were rapidly filling up with self-righteous pontifications (some clearly malicious) from people who weren't there and didn't know what they were talking about. Perhaps the opportunity to make anonymous attacks was too much for the poor wee souls to resist.

I hadn't thought of you as a troublemaker until now, but I really do think that this new thread is ill-judged and stupid, if not actually malicious. The matter has been discussed and dealt with. It is time to let it drop.
