GeoExpat thread closure policy?

Despite the Geo moderator's opinionated comments about my thread asking about TST lurve hotels below, I'm still baffled as to why this organisation would close the thread.
An explanation would be appreciated, as it seems there are no open discussion forums operating in this town.

Well, do you work for the Eden? Figured you were a shill ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill ) given that your history on the site has been about Eden and now a TST love shack.

If you were a regular with any amount of posting history, you'd have received a private message from me or the person who locked it down.

Know It All - do me the courtesy of psoting me a message, open or private rather than make incorrect assumptions. No, I do not work for Eden and I'm not interested in how your logic led you to that idea.

Krad - what Know It All did instead of locking this thread, is he/she blocked my Stapleton account, which is now unusable. So I opened this one to be able to make this reply.

Know It All - I don't know or care what are you scared of in my threads, but how about allowing your users to comminicate? Isn't this supposed to be what the site is all about? If you don't like the topic - mine could not actually have offended anyone - then don't jump in and assume some trumped up idea. Funnily enough, in the case of my previous thread, it turns out that your name should be KnowNothing.

I presume my outspokeness means you will now also render my FreeSpeech handle useless, as you cowardly did with the Stapleton one.

Come on, don't be nasty!
As Stapleton, all your postings were related to this ominous Eden hotel...
Don't you think it's human, when a moderator considers this as suspicious or weird?

Why are you so angry?

FreeSpeech,

I support your position of free speech, and if a mistake was made about blocking what you've written thats too bad, but mistakes are just that... mistakes... I guess I'd just encourage you to reconcile with KIA and just repost.

There is little point in being this angry as it accomplishing nothing. Also, you don't want people to know how much this has affected you. It will make people think that you did have alternative motives...

Besides, I appreciate KIA monitoring and controlling this site. There are some bad folks out there and lots of them are attempting to abuse this free speech forum, and we defintiely need KIA doing what he is doing...

If you've been a victim of circumstance, because of the need to protect against those that would abuse this site, then I'm sorry mate....

Just remember, relax and enjoy your life. Talk to KIA, and repost. If everything is legit, I have to believe you'll be able to say what you want out here.

-Brad

One thread concerned The Eden, the other clearly didn't.

KnowItAll got it wrong and acted inapropriately - a private message might have been a more adult approach if he/she wanted to check the amusing eroneous theory that I am connected with The Eden.

Brad - Actually, it's a drag being angry about this, you're right. But KIA showed a paranoid side of a moderator and an uncourteous one. I was also inconvenienced to discover that without ant warning of notification that he/she then decided to axe my Stapleton account without any inquiry whatsoever.

Dude .. if we'd blocked your account, you'd have seen a "Banned" tag right below the Nickname in your earlier post.

Anyways, take your rants to another site, they're not going to do much good here. Win some ... loose one ..
