Who are 'they' and in whose interests are 'they' supposed to be serving?

And why would 'their' wishes and judgement be thought more important now - on our forum - than the wishes of the 1000 potential posters to the thread that 'they' have anonymously imposed closure upon and prevented?

The originator of that thread may take offence and not post again. For if the originator does mot take offence and now agrees with the thread's imposed closure - you may question their reasons for creating the thread in the first place? Or you probably won't....
