The thing I don't understand about closing the thread IS:
We, 99.5% of the Ledge community, were HERE, supporting each other. I see that as a VERY positive thing. And, we may have even convinced someone of their error in judgement. It's called free thought, and free speech, and that's what he, and we, were exercising. I've seen moderators get a little out of hand before(not mentioning any names{not you}), but I'm NO fan of censorship. And closing the thread was just that, IMO.
No thanks.
