This guy is always so eager to kill discussion. Guess it's AMP talk 24/7 or bust. God forbid in the discussion section we dare stray from P4P/girl reviews for even a second.
Personally, I don't see the need for killing threads, except in very extreme circumstances (e.g., members threating physical violence against each other).
When SH was up, some threads would stray very far indeed from the original purpose, but cannot recall the Admin ever shutting any down. Or, if he did, the threshold for closure was a lot higher. And there was a category SH topics that were specifically not AMP related. It seemed that those were the threads that could go on forever, especially if they were about politics. I think one infamous Trump thread went on for years (imagine that). And, of course, nothing got resolved.
If a thread is uninteresting, it will die on its own. Or devolve into 2-3 members shouting at each other (those might be candidates for closure).
Well, that's my SH nostalgia post for this week.
