Why do threads get closed is the same reason that the Fourth Estate can and will refuse to print anything they choose not to report. Its their call. It may not be right? It may be manipulation? It can be aggravating.
With TOTV I would prefer a thread to be close primarily because of the lack of interest or activity. The quality of the thread can be regulated by the mod simply deleting poster's comments
Like any issue it kicks as much as it cuts and the one thing about Political Talk is that because it is not moderated a poster can self- moderate and so the thread in a matter of speaking just dies on the vine ( is simply ignored)
