We do not usually post any involved explanation of a thread lock when we are called upon to do it, but I feel perhaps, this time, it's called for.
This thread was closed due to several blatant rules violations and nothing more. Moderation was questioned as well as the moderator's integrity, both completely uncalled for here. We received numerous reports on this thread as well as PMs. I had not previously read the thread at all, not the first sentence, and the report took me straight to the first violation, which I dealt with by posting the applicable rules. That moderation was re-edited by the author of that post with accusations of bias, which I also removed.
Again, I will post the rules that were broken here:
