    29,

    Why would you want to close a thread that you started?

    Good threads that are getting inappropriate posts should have those posts rejected rather than closing the thread itself.

    The little I know
    Participant

    I was observing that some threads were being opened with titles that mimicked others, perhaps to draw away attention. The most recent one was “Should parents imitate their children?” I had a passing thought to start one “Should parents immolate their children?”. I was scared some of the potchers might actually take that as a serious idea and consider it. Considering that two states are on record as legalizing infanticide, this is not just a bizarre fantasy that gets dismissed as psychotic. A thread like that should be removed, not just blocked from comments.

    I’m glad that “the little I know” isn’t a mod
