If it makes you feel any better, the "guy" who locked the topic did so in response to someone making an unhelpful personal comment about you. As Raze said, we do believe in giving forum members a lot of freedom to express themselves in whatever way they see fit, but we draw the line at personal attacks and there were several of them in that topic, and were continuing after we'd asked them to stop.
Feel free to discuss stuff, but please keep it about the stuff and not other people. It's not really very productive and there are other places that are more accommodating of that sort of thing.
