If a thread is going to be closed it should be for violating a forum rule, not based on what a Mod's mood is for the day is, or their opinion of the worth of the thread.

Well, as that one DID hurt, I would like to answer:
I wanted to close the thread based on facts, not based on any mood swing or wanting to censor anything. Fact: The thread had been opened specifically to continue another thread and to "convince" a DRM-defender. That was quite a strange goal in itself. As this user was gone, I didn't see any use for that thread anymore.
This didn't have anything at all to do with any kind of censorship. I just perceived an unanimity on the DRM issue and plenty of other threads around to discuss this thread's issue. This horse has been beaten to death all too much already.
I could have just closed the thread down. Instead I specifically asked if someone minded. As this seems to be the case, I don't close it. So please get off of my back!
I don't understand this all too aggressive behaviour of yours, frankly!
Threads are not only closed for violating rules, btw, you should base your elugubrations on facts!
