Why was this thread locked? There was discussion about different approaches to healing the fight. There was nothing abusive about the posts. And suddenly when a long post with which the admin agreed popped up, the discussion was over?
You see, the OP asked for it to be locked, the mods did not lock is themselves. If you actually read the thread(specifically the last 2 posts), you'd notice that the OP asked for it to be locked.
OP asked a question, he got an answer which was satisfactory to him. I'm confused that you managed to read the long post but not the short one following.
