and not directed at anyone in particular since I neither know nor care who closed what. But why close threads in the flame zone? They're supposed to be no holds barred, no rules (for the most part) flame threads, but over the months I've been a member here I've seen MANY threads get closed (and not all of them have been about me, from me , or even involving me so I want to dispel the notion that I'm "whining" here. I'm not, I'm asking a question about the supposed lack of rules in the flame forum yet many threads end up getting closed.

I suppose in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter, but I'm just curious as to how one closes what is supposed to be essentially an unmoderated thread.
