Just wondering, handy to know
On a serious note, the propensity to lock threads stops conversation (of whatever quality) between members.
There comes a point when locking is needed, but not when you think you can't be bothered discussing it any more. We *are* adults here, though sometimes everyone seems to act a bit childish (including myself!). |

it's a fair point, and is this a fascist site or are we all allowed the last word in an argument ![Very Happy](./modules/PNphpBB2/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) |

My usual mode is to tell the coach "Good luck upon your return in X days." Then he can have the last word for a while. ![Smile](./modules/PNphpBB2/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

I'm fine with that thread getting locked, it was past due anyway.
HM felt his point wasn't getting heard so he ended it. *shrug* |

He's having a good at it.
For anyone unclear on why I locked it. The arguments were getting circular but more personal between 2 members (me being one). My response to the post previously would have made the situation more volatile, so instead I ended it there.
