Can we be done with having threads closed?

That question is not aimed at Kat. Good, interesting threads get closed because some who post here seem hell-bent on being rude to others. I'm not trying to play thread cop, I'm just voicing the opinion that, to me and probably others here, this kind of behavior is a waste of time and wrecks havoc on threads that are interesting and often useful to follow for the information they disseminate. Seriously, folks, please stop it!
And yes, I expect this thread to be closed and will not complain if so.

We do not need an ignore button...however it is useful. If you have a forum that allows political discussion people will disagree. My favourite forum I visit (not this one), allows 0 political threads or political talk.
and it always seems lately that threads are getting closed where one member continues on with discussions with a lot of nothing to contribute...and everyone here knows who it is.
People who goat people into bans...wtf is up with that. People need to learn to just walk away from some discussions (me included).Give Peas A Chance…0 -

At least that's how it seems to work.And as an aside, it must be frustrating at times to be a mod around here. Kudos, mods!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

PJ_Soul said:I don't agree that this is just one person's fault at all. The reactions are what the problem is, not initial comments. Some people here refuse to just let someone say what he wants without flipping out and getting mad and super insulting and personal, and then a ridiculous back and forth argument ensues. Sonyeaj, I think the ignore feature would be helpful for all sides (it is always the usual suspects).I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

Just so no one gets the idea that I think I'm spotless, I admit I have reacted poorly here at times. I'm trying to learn as we go and do better myself. I've long thought it is worth it to keep this place going. Always have hoped for that.
