It's posts like this that get threads shut down. Politics are not allowed on this site. It's plastered across the top of every page.

Maybe they don’t like your post?

When the subject has turned from court room verdict, into what age soldiers can get their heads blown off, it is a sign the thread had run its course!

We are all just guessing.
Maybe one of the moderators would like to explain.

Or not.

and... THIS thread has all the signs of 'another one bites the dust'.

I had questioned, via email or PM, the Mods at least 5 times before re Thread closures.
Nothing back, ever.

No further comment, as I had spent my time in the penalty box before. It is what it is...

nope they 'don't have to', but would be educational and at the very least provide a simple explanation. I have noticed that a FEW Mods state something in their last post, as to 'why', before they close Thread - but that's rare.

Read #19 first time through. As for my post, never said they had to explain, only they might LIKE to so that we would not be chasing our tails looking for the real reason the post was removed. That's all.

Also noticed this. It would be nice to have an explanation why an active thread is being closed rather than, here one minute, gone the next. There are lots of open threads that haven't had a post in ages, yet still open???

I've noticed many posters are easily distracted by squirrels.
Hey, how about a nice new thread on navigating roundabouts properly?
