Why was this thread locked?
 

Why was the thread Weekend Kills. Me VS 2 LS-1's! Tim C vs New Vette! locked? Granted there was some heated discussion but it was just that discussion. I think we were making honest progress, a thread that makes progress should not be locked. After all there were no real name calling or insullting just car talk.

The only progress I observed was it was progressing to a potential flame war. The original topic had been discussed and the information I was reading did not appear relevant to the original topic.

With 40 reponses it appeared to have run its course.

Moderators call
 

Kevin:

I checked that thread and you're right; it was going nowhere and was just a protracted argument, although not quite into the flame stage. Fair call.

SedanMan:

Sorry you didn't get to keep debating but we have to look at the whole thread, not just one person's position on it.

Once you've made your point(s) you should be able to simply stand on your position. The endless "Yes, but..." arguments are tedious and can lead to flaming when no one wants to be wrong and of course everyone wants to be right. Let it go.
