Really?

I would say the last two posters in that thread killed it.

They killed the puppies.

Monsters.
 
I hope something got removed because if not that’s pathetic.
 
There are times when I'm firmly behind PETA
 
It was just locked for review - there should have been a post at the bottom stating as such. That one was my fault.
 
Posts can be removed without locking the thread, can’t they?

Moderation (usually) requires more than one voice - a thread is locked if there's fear that the thread will spin further before a decision can be made. There aren't necessarily a lot of us around at any given time, so decisions sometimes take longer than we'd like.
 
You know sometimes I'm annoyed by the no political discussion rule but here in the last month or two and especially the past 48 hours I'm kind of glad there's one place on the internet I can go and hang out without it being a thing.

But free the puppies! Justice for canine kind! No more speciesism!

I didn't think he was whining, I saw it as just wanting to know what happened to the thread.
 
What about a Comanche full of bowling balls?
You'd have to ask @EdFred , who has much more experience with Comanches full of both bowling balls and puppies.

I believe he's found the puppies to be self-unloading.
 
appeals to "decorum" is often done in bad faith. Just tone-policing by another name, in my lived experienced. tea emoji frog emoji.
 
I think this could have been addressed a bit more respectfully.
Nah. His behavior was being justifiably criticized. It wasn't a comment or attack on him personally. It was simply being less subtle that his persistent behavior, for over ten years, of inserting politics into any gap he can find is getting old.

This opposition to transparency is why I'm MIA...there is no hope for this mentality.
