Can someone explain why perfectly good threads are being locked? For example, a thread I started about Chicago's plan to do away with a qualification exam for its police officers was locked.
One would think that the subject is something that should be discussed since it follows that open carriers may very well have contact with an unqualified police officer incapable of passing a simple entrance exam. The implications of minority applicants being unable to pass a standardized exam yet being allowed to carry a gun and patrol the streets is of paramount importance.
I realize that the domain owner has the right to do anything he wants with this domain and that I am free to post elsewhere. However, if we aren't allowed to contemplate and discuss the issues on a website that is alleged to support all of the Bill of Rights, to perceive patterns and devised solutions, then such issues and our approach to them have to be altered, by emotion into good things. Smiling and lighting candles seem to be only approved reactions in our nation. Here and in the real world.
Would it be to much to ask that when a thread is locked that a reason be given as to why it was locked? This will provide me with a better idea as to what is approved speech here and what topics are off limits. I and others can then modify our written thoughts to comply with the approved 'newspeak' that we are being conditioned to use here and in real life.
Thanks in advance.
