Where many members have stated they can't find reason to close a thread, I can't find a valid reason for allowing these "fights" to continue. These forums were created by the Doc to promote learning and intelligent discussion, not as a tool for Ini to lose his temper and spew a mess of garbage along with their resume. Allowing these outbursts to continue only exacerbates a situation that has driven away many good members of the Asylum. It's one thing to allow these threads to stay open if intelligent debate is going on around the "fight" but I think if the discussion has run its course or the "fight" has hindered all intelligent discussion, we need not allow it to continue. Strike that, we should not allow it to continue. There doesn't seem to be a point. It's not as though I advocate a Gestapo-like system. The amount of locked threads we have should be an indication to how infrequently threads need to be closed.
