Not only have I read it, I've read it several times to make sure I got it. And I still think you weren't exactly clear in your point.

That said, I do understand and appreciate your concern for this community.
But as I also had stated, one or two incidents do not necessarily tell the overall story. I've been a member here for five years now, and a mod for two years (more or less), and not once have I noticed any instances of 'town cop-ism'. Like I said, threads have been closed for whatever reasons that made sense and were justifiable at the time a mod/admin made them.
