Not quite, more a matter of a moderator persuading the forum owner that people are entitled to their say provided they stay within the bounds of the forum rules whilst demonstrating as much fairness as possible to everyone that contributes.
A thread that does not become the reason for longstanding members to receive warnings and infraction and does not fizzle out into a black is white and white is black argument or an ending where nothing is actually proven.
Not forgetting the fact said thread was locked previously but reopened on the advice of said moderator.
I do appreciate moderation is often a double-edged sword but there's not much I'll ever be able to do about that.
