What? What? Did you actually sit and think and come up with that logic?

Not really, rambled it off the top of my head, but if you take the time to understand it, it's valid.

All I stated is that numerous factors need to be considered before a thread can be closed. Why should this one be handled according to the same protocols as were used in closing others? This is where you imply that I agree with those closures. If I don't, clearly I will not advocate reimplementing those standards.

I agree, but the same factors should be used within like cases. THis should be used the same way because it is just about the same type of thing. The supreme court does things like this all the time (Finds 10 cases that are basically the same, then judges them all the same), so why shouldn't we (other than because you say so)

Yes, the arguments I've used here should be applied to all threads. No, that doesn't mean we should collect every reason ever used in closing a thread and pretend their application would be valid in this case.

Why shouldn't it? Similar cases should have similar results, or we basically have hypocrites for mods.
Anyone. basically, other than the mod, since they'd benefit from not having to close a thread, which only takes about 2 seconds (obviously I don't think that's a good benefit)

Given that the term exists only within your own mind, I think I could be excused for misusing it. Of course, since I didn't use it at all...

You implied it, by attempting to give an example.

And now we've come full circle, without you providing anything in support of your cause. Why should it be closed? Give me one positive reason (ie, anything that doesn't fit the form 'why not?').

You always claim that no support is given if you aren't convinced, which never happens. Ok, one positive reason: Less clutter within the forums, since just about anythign after the topic proves its purpose is spam (yes i believe our argument won't really help anyone)
