Debating things

I like a good debate and posters as we all know have different opinions but that is their opinions and should be respected, all views should be respected but why do Mods close good wholesome and interesting threads and ban members who are actually very interesting and refreshing and bring life to a relatively boring place at times.
Don't close the threads, people should just ignore the people who are out to cause trouble and they will go away, i don't see why the rest of us should suffer because of this.

I see Casman and Malcolm are now listed as banned.
