What the obvious reasons actually were that made this action so necessary?

Because you intentionally subverted the thread with non relevant posts
------------------------------------
What it has achieved?

It has saved innocent strangers stumbling upon another Shambles infested thread
-----------------------------------
Why exactly you would blame only me when the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team decides for reasons of his own subject yet another thread to imposed closure?

Because only you try to bend all threads to suit your futile agenda
-----------------------------------
And why posters just could not have been left to decide the fate of that thread for themselves?

Because not all posters can be trusted to know where to draw the line.

-----------------------------------

Next question?
