I just hate seeing so many topics locked, its the reason I would make a terrible mod. Because a part of me would hope that we could find a way to communicate on tough issues without putting mods in a tough position on keeping certain topics open. Maybe we can work on building more confidence with the mods that our community can be reasonable and respectful on tough issues.
Ideally, sure. But eventually you reach a point where you just know something is beyond civil discourse, which makes locking things down the easier solution. You're fighting a never ending losing battle by keep them open, unfortunately, wasting the mods' time in the process.
I think the community is definitely capable of discussing anything in a civil manner, but we can only do that by weeding out the troublemakers. Things will never change otherwise.
