Default Just out of curiosity

The owner(s) of the site can do whatever he/she/they want, including appointing moderators to manage the site. I understand that and I'm not complaining nor am I questioning the moderators abilities or motives.

I just want to know why the "Benjamin Franklin Quotes" thread was locked? It's in the off-topic category, so I didn't think it would be a big deal to stray off topic, as I see it happen there all the time. So I guess I'm just wondering if my attempts to determine if Jake was lying was the reason why the thread was locked, or if it was something else. Maybe something was written that I didn't see that maybe ticked off a moderator? Just curious.

I don't know exactly since I didn't lock it... but I imagine it had to do with back-and-forth insults across the thread. I figured they were mostly in good humor in the context of that thread and no one seemed to be getting actually offended... but I can't honestly say that it was a bad decision to lock it.

I locked it, and yes it was because the insults were getting out of hand.
