@kolla, like it or not, if something is locked from public debate then that my friend is censorship in the true meaning of the word...
I disagree, censorship would be deleting the thread so that it couldn't even be read any more.
Personally, I wouldn't have bothered locking it as it it keeps the people that want to argue about such trivial things all in one place. However, that thread has generated a number of reported posts. Argo was well within his remit to close it.
