Yes. Jake and Jack, I can imagine it's hard to deal with the dynamics of heated postings. And I see the point Jake has about a closed thread cooling itself down (which is essentially preventing a thread from getting bumped, as has successfully been done in the last Developer Chat). I think all the mods and admins on this forum are, by and large, doing a terrific job!
I just wanted to point out what tabs apparently had overlooked, to prevent a simple misunderstanding from escalating into big proportions.
However, since the thread was closed, I had to start a new one. So I'd say the closing of the thread complicated matters, didn't it?
(And from my limited experience as a forum member, I have seen too many closed or deleted threads leading to only more complicated matters. But it might be different on this forum, so I might have over-simplified.)

Funny I can't hear you laugh.
I have just explained why it MADE me start a new thread. So you're completely missing the point.
