It's basically just as bad as the moderation on bearshare.net people came here to avoid.
Why? Because along with the flames, those threads also contain some valuable discussion, and closing the thread leaves the last word to a random side of the argument.
Anyway, if people want to continue flaming eachother, what do you care? It's the decision of the people involved. If Vinnie wants to get into a flamewar here instead of bearshare.net...well...why the hell not? There's no reason to close the threads, and good reason not to.
I closed them because the people posting in those threads were just flaming each other.

No, on BearShare.net threads/posts were being deleted. Here they're just being closed.

You're right, some of them did have valuable discussion initially; that's why I closed them instead of deleting them.

I care because I'd like to maintain a certain level of professionalism and decency in these forums.
