Locking of threads

[Norval]

As many have noted the thread locking, there are other methods of moderation available, and I
have to admit some of these threads needed "tending" to. Threads should always remain as
witness, openly to all posters, as to what was said by whom, when, and why. I have seen posts
removed for ones "just to save face". While it may be an old proverb of honor, to allow one to
back out of an argument gracefully and to save face, this is not being done with honor.

It is not the place of anyone to tell Moderators, nor the owners and Administrator, how to run
their forum. But we all can feel the tension that develops when things are being done behind
closed doors. Everyone can see when powers are being used for self, when agendas replace the
true necessity of Moderation, and this is detestable to say the least.

Yes, many are questioning methods being employed by Moderators in this forum, yet I think we
will all see what comes out in the final results, that is if we stick around and work through all this
thread disruption. Avalon is about Ground Crew Preparation, yet few understand just how to go
about preparing, and for what? This is all about "Disclosure", truth, preparedness and hope. You
must learn to go around, step over, or leap ahead to avoid those that would stand between you
and what you want to learn. Keep learning, and keep looking up.

I hope this is NOT the case.

Thanks Norval, good post.
