Moderators: Should They Close Threads That They Disagree With?

Last night, I had a thread going, an emotional thread, to most and concerned guns and gun control. Nothing political about guns, as I mentioned, ALL party members, Republican,Democrats and Independents, own guns. I was using an "event" that seems to suggest that there should be more "gun control" and more "common sense" with people that have guns.

JC,the moderator disagreed and closed the thread. "I on the other hand believe the entire thread is political and a statement on guns and the feelings on gun and gun ownership," As we all know, JC is on the opposite end of this debate, from me and shouldn't have closed this down,due to personal reasons.

Also, almost like "we're going to arrest you because we think,later, you'll commit a crime" with this statement " Jeffery has spoken to keep the politics out of it but yet, it is still going down that path and I don't see that changing."

So I ask the people here, if this was right, by JC to shut this down. I KNOW he CAN, because he did, but was that right?

I don't.

I may or may not be around after this post,let's see how they handle this.

This seems to be as good a place and a good reason, to make a point,

Frankly, I am against 9 year olds shooting that particular model Uzi. (BTW, UZI makes more than sub-machine guns.) Had the thread genuinely been about poor parental judgment I would have left it open. YOU chose to make it a political soapbox for your own views on the "gun society" while asking people not to get political. It doesn't work that way.

The thread was closed because from your comments in the first post it was political and you have definitely been here long enough to know we do not want political posts here

If he had not closed it Jeff or I would have done

You also know the rules about discussing moderation decisions in the main forum.
